Frequently Asked Questions — Urology & Kidney Transplant

The kidney transplant cost in Lucknow at Charak Hospital ranges from ₹4,00,000 to ₹8,00,000 for a complete package. This includes pre-transplant workup (HLA typing, crossmatch, cardiac evaluation), surgery for recipient and live donor, Transplant ICU stay (5–7 days), ward charges and initial immunosuppression medications. Deceased-donor transplants cost slightly more. CGHS, ECHS and TPA cashless insurance is available. Call 0522-666-4444 for a personalised estimate.
Dr. Singh performs three types of laser kidney stone surgery at Charak Hospital, chosen based on stone size, number and location:
• URSL (Ureteroscopic Laser Lithotripsy) — best for ureteric stones (4–15 mm). Day-care procedure; discharge same day.
• PCNL (Percutaneous Nephrolithotomy) — gold standard for large stones (>2 cm) and staghorn calculi. Hospital stay: 2–3 days.
• RIRS (Retrograde Intrarenal Surgery) — flexible scope for complex intrarenal stones, multiple stones or horseshoe kidney. Very low risk.
All three are minimally invasive with stone-free rates above 90%. ESWL (shockwave lithotripsy) is reserved for small stones (6–15 mm) in the kidney.
Dr. Shailendra Pratap Singh offers the most advanced, bloodless options for BPH (prostate enlargement / benign prostatic hyperplasia):
• Medications (alpha-blockers, 5-alpha reductase inhibitors) for mild–moderate symptoms
• TURP (Transurethral Resection of Prostate) — endoscopic standard procedure for most prostate sizes. No skin incision. Hospital stay: 2–3 days.
• HoLEP (Holmium Laser Enucleation of Prostate) — superior for large prostates (>80 gm). Bloodless, durable, low recurrence. Hospital stay: 1–2 days.
Symptoms of BPH include poor urine flow, frequency (especially at night), urgency, and incomplete bladder emptying. Early treatment prevents bladder damage and recurrent UTI.
A kidney transplant involves placing a healthy kidney from a live or deceased donor into the recipient's lower abdomen. The new kidney is connected to the recipient's blood vessels and bladder. The failed kidneys are usually left in place.
Eligibility criteria:
• End-stage renal disease (ESRD) — usually when eGFR falls below 15–20 mL/min
• Compatible blood group and crossmatch between donor and recipient
• Medical fitness — cardiac evaluation, infection screen, cancer screening
• A willing live donor (spouse, parent, sibling, child) or deceased donor through NOTTO
Patients on haemodialysis are eligible and pre-emptive transplant (before starting dialysis) gives the best outcomes. Dr. Singh evaluates each patient individually at Charak Hospital.
Urethral stricture is a narrowing of the urethra — the tube carrying urine from the bladder. Symptoms include:
• Weak, split or spraying urine stream
• Straining to pass urine
• Incomplete bladder emptying
• Recurrent urinary tract infections
• In severe cases — complete urinary retention
Treatment options at Charak Hospital:
• Optical Internal Urethrotomy (OIU) — endoscopic incision of the stricture; suitable for short strictures
• Urethroplasty (Buccal Mucosal Graft) — surgical reconstruction using a graft from the inner cheek; gold standard for longer or recurrent strictures with 90%+ long-term success rate
The most common symptom of bladder cancer is painless blood in urine (haematuria). Diagnosis is confirmed by cystoscopy and biopsy.
Treatment at Charak Hospital:
• TURBT (Transurethral Resection of Bladder Tumour) — endoscopic removal for non-muscle-invasive bladder cancer, followed by BCG or mitomycin intravesical instillation to prevent recurrence
• Radical Cystectomy — complete removal of bladder with urinary diversion (ileal conduit or neobladder) for muscle-invasive cancer
• Surveillance cystoscopy every 3–6 months to detect recurrence early
Early-stage (non-muscle-invasive) bladder cancer has a 5-year survival rate above 90% with proper treatment and follow-up.
Yes — without preventive measures, stones recur in 50% of patients within 5 years. After laser stone surgery, Dr. Singh recommends:
• High fluid intake — 2.5 to 3 litres of water daily (urine should be pale yellow)
• Stone analysis — identifying the stone type guides diet restrictions
• Reduce salt and animal protein; avoid high-oxalate foods (spinach, nuts, chocolate) for calcium oxalate stones
• Avoid vitamin C supplements in high doses
• 24-hour urine metabolic evaluation to detect hypercalciuria, hyperoxaluria or hypocitraturia
• Medications — potassium citrate, thiazide diuretics, or allopurinol as indicated
• Regular ultrasound KUB every 6–12 months for early detection
Dialysis filters waste from the blood artificially, 3 times per week, when kidneys fail — it does not cure kidney failure. Kidney transplant replaces the failed kidney with a healthy one, restoring near-normal function.
Kidney transplant advantages:
• Frees from dialysis sessions (4 hours × 3 per week)
• Survival benefit: transplant patients live 10–15 years longer on average
• Near-normal diet and lifestyle
• Lower long-term cost than years of dialysis
• Better quality of life and energy levels
Dialysis remains the bridge to transplant and for patients not suitable for surgery. Dr. Singh evaluates each patient individually for transplant eligibility at Charak Hospital.
You should consult Dr. Shailendra Pratap Singh urgently if you experience:
•
Blood in urine (haematuria) — pink, red or smoky urine, even if painless

•
Inability to pass urine (acute urinary retention)
•
Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTI) in men or children
•
Weak urine stream, straining or incomplete emptying (prostate or stricture)
•
Swelling in scrotum (testicular torsion — emergency) or lump in testis
•
Kidney failure (rising creatinine, reduced urine output, swelling)
•
Male infertility — no pregnancy after 1 year of unprotected intercourse
