Understanding your care
Understanding kidney transplantation
A kidney transplant places a healthy donor kidney into a person with advanced, irreversible kidney failure. It can replace some or all dialysis needs in appropriately selected patients, but requires careful recipient and donor assessment.
India offers established living-donor and deceased-donor programs with nephrology, transplant surgery, diagnostics, and international-patient coordination in one care pathway.
