Providing a new lease of life to 4 patients suffering from end stage kidney failure, the department of urology and renal tranplantation at NIMS has performed 4 kidney transplants including one live related renal tansplant and three cadaveric renal transplants within a span of 24 hours.
All these surgeries which would have otherwise cost anywhere between 10 to 15 lakhs per transplant in a corporate hospital, have been done free of cost at NIMS hospital under Aarogyasree scheme provided by govt of Telangana.
Cadaver tranplant recipients, who have received kidneys from brain dead beating heart donors have hailed from mahabubnagar, karimnagar and hyderabad districts. All three have been suffering from end stage renal failure and have been receiving hemodialysis for the past 4 to 5 years.
For the live related transplant, husband donated the kidney to his wife. They hail from hyderabad and the patient was suffering from end stage renal failure for the past 2 years
All the 4 transplant recipients are doing well with good urine output indicative of successful kidney transplant. The donor for the live tranplant is also recovering well.
This was made possible because of 2 dedicated transplant operation theatres with laminar flow.
These surgeries were performed by the team of urologists headed by Professor Dr. Ram Reddy and Professor Dr. Rahul Devraj along with the team including Dr. Vidyasagar, Dr.Ramachandraiah, Dr. Raghuveer, Dr. Charan Kumar, Dr. Dheeraj, Dr. Vinay, Dr.Sunil, Dr.Arun, Dr. Janaki, Dr. Vishnu, Dr. Pavan, Dr. Harsha, Dr. Suraj, Dr. Poovarasan, Dr. Anant, Dr. Shahrukh
