Kidney Transplant Center in Ahmedabad — Expert Living Donor & Recipient Surgery by Dr. Prarthan Joshi
End-stage kidney disease is a life-changing diagnosis — but kidney transplantation offers the best chance of a full, healthy life for eligible patients. At Zydus Hospitals, Ahmedabad, Dr. Prarthan Joshi — M.S., M.Ch. (Urology) — leads a comprehensive kidney transplant program providing expert surgical care for both donors and recipients, backed by the full multidisciplinary support of one of Ahmedabad’s most advanced hospitals.
Why Kidney Transplant?
Kidney transplantation consistently outperforms dialysis in terms of quality of life, life expectancy, and long-term outcomes for eligible patients with end-stage renal disease. A successful transplant frees patients from the rigid schedule of dialysis, restores near-normal kidney function, and allows a return to full daily life.
Living Donor Kidney Transplant
The majority of kidney transplants performed at our kidney transplant center in Ahmedabad involve living donors — typically a family member or close friend. Living donor transplantation offers several advantages over deceased donor kidneys: better long-term outcomes, shorter waiting time, and the ability to plan the surgery at the most suitable time for both donor and recipient.
Donor evaluation at Zydus Hospitals is comprehensive and completely transparent — assessing medical fitness, kidney function, anatomy, and psychological readiness. The donor operation is performed laparoscopically, with most donors returning home within 3 days and to normal activity within 4 weeks.
Donor Safety — The Facts
Fear of personal health consequences is the most common reason potential donors hesitate. The evidence is reassuring: carefully evaluated, healthy kidney donors have a life expectancy equivalent to the general non-donor population. The remaining kidney compensates remarkably well, and with regular monitoring, donors maintain excellent long-term kidney health.
Recipient Surgery & Post-Transplant Care
The recipient surgery places the donor kidney in the lower abdomen, connecting it to the recipient’s blood vessels and bladder. Most patients notice the new kidney functioning immediately or within the first few days. Post-transplant care at Zydus Hospitals includes immunosuppression management, close kidney function monitoring, and long-term surveillance — all coordinated under one expert roof.
