What is Kidney Transplant?

A kidney transplant replaces a failed kidney (end-stage renal disease / CKD Stage 5) with a healthy kidney from a live or deceased donor, restoring near-normal kidney function and eliminating the need for dialysis. Dr. Kanishk Dokania leads the Institute of Urology & Kidney Transplant at Charak Hospital — a NOTTO-registered transplant centre in Lucknow.

Kidney transplant offers a significantly better quality of life, 10–15 years longer survival, and freedom from dialysis sessions (3×/week, 4 hours each) compared to long-term haemodialysis.

Most patients are discharged 7–10 days after a successful kidney transplant. The new kidney typically starts functioning within 24–72 hours. Return to light activity: 4–6 weeks; full recovery: 3 months. Regular follow-up for creatinine and tacrolimus monitoring is essential during the first year. A well-functioning transplant can last 15–20+ years.
Yes, for eligible patients. Kidney transplant patients live 10–15 years longer on average, enjoy near-normal diet and lifestyle, are free from 3 weekly dialysis sessions, and have significantly better quality of life. Dialysis remains the bridge to transplant and the treatment for patients not suitable for surgery. Dr. Dokania evaluates each patient individually.
Patients with end-stage renal disease (Stage 5 CKD, eGFR <15) or those on dialysis with a compatible live donor or awaiting deceased-donor allocation are eligible. The candidate must be medically fit (cardiac, infection and cancer clearance) and the donor-recipient crossmatch must be negative. Pre-emptive transplant before starting dialysis gives the best outcomes.
