Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
One of my close friends , aged 35 is having a chronic kidney disease named - IGA Nephropathy. He has undergone a transplant in 2009, at the age of 29, which is failed now and is in urgent need of another cadaver transplant. He is currently undergoing dialysis twice a week and having many side effects as part of his dialysis. The patient is going through a critical situation and I just want to check if there are any options to do a second transplant as an emergency. Appreciate if you could advise on below.
1. Can a second transplant be done immediately if bringing a donor. 2. What will be the approximate costs for the transplant 3. What is the success rate of the transplant
