A Guide to Kidney Transplantation (Bengali)

by Dr. Topoti Mukherjee

In this insightful video blog, Dr. Topoti Mukherjee, Lead Consultant in Nephrology and Transplantation at Aster Whitefield Hospital provides a brief overview of kidney transplantation and highlights the importance of talking to a doctor to determine if it is the right treatment option.

Who should get a kidney transplant?

A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure that replaces a damaged kidney with a healthy one from a donor. This can be done when both of a person's kidneys are damaged and no longer function. The new kidney can then resume the functions of the old one.

It is important to talk to a doctor to see if you need a kidney transplant. The success rate of a kidney transplant is higher than the success rate of dialysis, which is another treatment option for kidney failure. Additionally, there are different types of kidney donors, including living donors and deceased donors. Dr. Topoti also explains the various risks and benefits of kidney transplantation.
