A kidney transplant gives people with end-stage kidney disease freedom from dialysis and a better, longer life. Dr. Kumar Rajesh Ranjan, M.Ch (Urology), has fellowship training in renal transplant and has been involved in more than 120 kidney transplants and 40+ laparoscopic donor nephrectomies. He works with nephrologists at Satyadev Hospital to guide patients and donors from evaluation to surgery.
A kidney transplant places a healthy kidney from a living donor (usually a close family member) or a deceased donor into a person with end-stage kidney disease. The new kidney is placed in the lower abdomen and joined to the blood vessels and bladder; the patient's own kidneys are usually left in place. Before surgery, the recipient and donor undergo medical tests and, for living donation in India, approval from the authorisation committee under the Transplantation of Human Organs Act. After transplant, lifelong anti-rejection medicines and regular follow-up are needed. In Patna, transplant urologist Dr. Kumar Rajesh Ranjan has been involved in more than 120 kidney transplants and 40+ laparoscopic donor nephrectomies.
For people with end-stage kidney disease, a successful transplant usually means a longer life and better quality of life than staying on dialysis — no more sessions three times a week, fewer diet restrictions and more energy. Until a transplant is possible, patients continue dialysis at Satyadev Hospital's dialysis centre.
Transplant is a team effort. Nephrologists assess the recipient's kidney disease and fitness and manage anti-rejection medicines; the transplant urologist performs the donor and recipient surgery. At Satyadev, Dr. Ranjan works with the hospital's nephrology team.
More details about the hospital's transplant programme are on the kidney transplant page of Satyadev Hospital. Call us to discuss whether you or your family member is a suitable recipient or donor.

Living donors are usually near relatives — parents, siblings, children, spouse or grandparents. Other donors need additional approval. All donations need authorisation committee approval under the Transplantation of Human Organs Act, and buying or selling organs is illegal.
For a carefully selected healthy donor, the risk is low and most donors live normal lives with one kidney. Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy means smaller cuts and faster recovery.
Many transplanted kidneys work for 10-15 years or longer. Taking anti-rejection medicines regularly and keeping follow-ups are the most important factors.
Usually not, once the new kidney is working. Some patients need dialysis for a short time until the kidney starts working fully.
