The video also highlights the surgical process, including the use of laparoscopic techniques for the donor and a careful transplant for the recipient. Personal experiences of patients undergoing the procedure are shared, demonstrating the positive impact of kidney transplants. With a high success rate, Siloam Hospitals has performed over 100,000 kidney transplants, providing hope and recovery for patients.

Takeaways

• 😀 The kidney is a crucial organ for the body, responsible for filtering waste and excess fluids, which are then excreted in urine.
• 😀 Kidney failure occurs when the kidneys are no longer functioning, leading to the accumulation of waste products in the body.
• 😀 Dialysis, including hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis, are temporary treatments for kidney failure, but a kidney transplant is considered the ideal solution.
• 😀 The first step in a kidney transplant procedure involves meeting with a transplant coordinator to understand the process and requirements.
• 😀 The second step is a consultation with a nephrology specialist to assess the patient's risk factors and suitability for transplantation.
• 😀 Donors undergo a psychological and legal assessment by a team of specialists to ensure they meet the criteria for donation.
• 😀 Medical compatibility between the donor and recipient is assessed through various tests, including blood type matching and HLA testing.
• 😀 A multidisciplinary transplant team, including specialists from various fields, evaluates both the donor and recipient's medical readiness for surgery.
• 😀 A kidney transplant surgery involves removing the donor kidney through laparoscopic techniques and transplanting it into the recipient's body.
• 😀 After surgery, the donor typically recovers faster and may leave the hospital within a few days, while the recipient requires close monitoring in an ICU setting.
• 😀 The hospital has a successful track record with over 100,000 kidney transplant patients, maintaining high survival rates post-operation.

Q & A

What is the main function of the kidneys in the human body?

The kidneys are crucial organs that filter waste products and excess fluids from the body, which are then excreted as urine. They play a key role in maintaining fluid and electrolyte balance.

What happens when kidney function declines?

When kidney function decreases, waste products and metabolic byproducts that should be expelled through urine begin to accumulate in the body. This can lead to health complications.

What are the common treatments for end-stage kidney failure?

For end-stage kidney failure, patients may undergo dialysis (either hemodialysis or peritoneal dialysis) or, ideally, receive a kidney transplant.

What are the steps involved before a kidney transplant?

The process begins with a consultation with a transplant coordinator, followed by medical evaluations, psychological assessments, legal considerations, and compatibility tests to ensure that both the donor and recipient are medically suitable for the transplant.

What medical tests are done to assess compatibility for a kidney transplant?

Key tests include blood compatibility tests such as HLA typing, crossmatch tests, and other evaluations to assess the health and compatibility of both the donor and recipient.

What is the role of the advocacy team in the kidney transplant process?

The advocacy team, consisting of specialists in psychiatry and forensic medicine, ensures that the donor is mentally and legally fit for donation. They conduct interviews and evaluate the donor's mental state and the legal aspects of the donation.

How is the kidney transplant surgery performed?

The kidney transplant surgery involves laparoscopic techniques for the donor, with small incisions made to remove the kidney. The recipient undergoes an incision in the abdomen where the new kidney is implanted, with arteries and veins connected before the urinary system is established.

What are the typical recovery times after a kidney transplant?

After surgery, kidney transplant recipients usually stay in a specialized care unit for monitoring. Most donors can be discharged within four days, while recipients typically stay for a week before being discharged.

How successful are kidney transplants in Siloam Hospitals?

Siloam Hospitals has performed over 100,000 kidney transplants with a 95.6% success rate, and the 1-year post-transplant survival rate is approximately 90%.

What are the benefits of choosing kidney transplant over dialysis?

Kidney transplant offers a more permanent solution to kidney failure compared to dialysis, which is a temporary solution. A transplant can significantly improve quality of life, providing more freedom and better long-term health outcomes.
