Dr. Ajit Huligol on Kidney Transplants |
Kidney transplantation is a surgical operation in which the surgeon places a healthy kidney from another person into your body. The
donated kidney does the work that your two failed kidneys used to do.
The surgeon places the new kidney inside your lower abdomen and connects the artery and vein of the new kidney to your artery and vein. Your blood flows through the donated kidney, which makes urine, just like your own kidneys did when they were healthy. The new kidney may start working right away or may take up to a few weeks to make urine. Unless your own kidneys are causing infection or high blood pressure, they are left in place. So, your own diseased kidneys are rarely removed.
Some of KANTI’s achievements that we would like to share with you:

- We have conducted more MULTIPLE ARTERY TRANSPLANTS than any other center in Karnataka!
- We have conducted more DOUBLE URETER TRANSPLANTS than any other center in India!
- We were the first to use the latest international formulation of Cyclosporine - NEORAL - the prime life-saving drug after kidney or other organ transplants!
- We have enrolled the most number of patients in the Neoral MOST (Multicentric Observational Study on Transplant) International Study.
- We have performed the first DOUBLE KIDNEY CADAVER TRANSPLANT in the state in which both the kidneys of the deceased were transplanted into the recipient!
