A new beginning.

Transplantation is more than the surgery itself. It is a journey that begins with understanding whether transplant is the right option, finding and evaluating a suitable donor, assessing compatibility, preparing safely for surgery, and continuing careful follow-up after transplantation.

Is kidney transplantation right for you?

For many people with advanced kidney disease, transplant evaluation can begin before dialysis becomes necessary. Others may consider transplantation after already starting haemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis.

A transplant evaluation helps determine whether transplantation is suitable, identifies factors that may need to be addressed beforehand, and allows the recipient and family to understand the available options.

Understanding donor compatibility

ABO-Compatible Transplantation

When the donor and recipient have compatible blood groups, transplantation can proceed after appropriate donor and recipient evaluation.

ABO-Incompatible Transplantation

In selected patients, advances in transplant medicine can make transplantation across blood-group barriers possible using specialised preparation and monitoring.

Sensitised Recipients

Some patients have antibodies that make finding a compatible donor more challenging. Detailed immunological evaluation can help understand the level of risk and determine the available transplant options.

Preparing for kidney transplantation

Recipient evaluation may include assessment of the heart and overall medical fitness, infection screening, cancer screening where appropriate, immunological testing and optimisation of existing medical conditions.

At the same time, the potential donor undergoes detailed evaluation to ensure that donation is safe for the donor, not simply suitable for the recipient.

Life after kidney transplantation

The transplant is the beginning—not the end of care.

After transplantation, regular follow-up helps monitor the transplanted kidney and identify complications early. Care includes monitoring kidney function, adjusting immunosuppressive medications, managing blood pressure and metabolic health, and ensuring appropriate preventive care.

Protecting yourself from infections

Anti-rejection medicines reduce the activity of the immune system and can increase susceptibility to certain infections. Patients and families therefore receive guidance about infection prevention, food and personal hygiene, vaccinations, recognising warning symptoms and when to seek medical attention early.

Protecting your transplanted kidney for the long term

Long-term transplant care is about more than creatinine. Follow-up focuses on medication adherence, blood pressure, diabetes and cardiovascular risk, infection prevention, appropriate cancer screening, bone and metabolic health, and recognising changes in graft function early.

The goal is to protect both the transplanted kidney and the overall health of the recipient.

Considering a kidney transplant?

Whether you are approaching kidney failure, already receiving dialysis, have a potential living donor, have been told that your donor is incompatible, or are seeking another opinion about your transplant options, a detailed transplant consultation can help you understand the next steps.
