Here are the most reputed hospitals in India for Deceased Donor Kidney Transplant. These hospitals are known for advanced infrastructure, international accreditations, and high success rates.
A deceased donor kidney transplant (also called a cadaveric kidney transplant) is a surgical procedure in which a healthy kidney from a person who has died — following declared brain death or circulatory death, with family consent — is placed into a patient with end-stage kidney disease. The new kidney is positioned in the lower abdomen, connected to the pelvic blood vessels and bladder, while the patient's own failed kidneys are typically left in place. It is the main transplant option for patients who do not have a suitable living donor. Surgery takes approximately three to four hours under general anaesthesia, followed by a hospital stay of two to three weeks for close monitoring of kidney function, immunosuppression initiation, and management of any early complications. Lifelong daily immunosuppressive medication is required to prevent rejection of the transplanted kidney.
The established approach: the donor kidney is placed in the lower abdomen through a standard open incision, with connections made to the pelvic artery, vein, and bladder.
Estimated cost: ~$1,000 – $1,500
Typical tests for this variant: Blood group and Rh typing, HLA tissue typing, Panel Reactive Antibody (PRA) / antibody screening, Crossmatch test, 2D Echocardiography, ECG, CBC, KFT, LFT, electrolytes, Viral markers — Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV, CMV, Chest X-ray, Pelvic vessel Doppler / CT angiography. Done in India before hospital admission.
Estimated cost in India: $19,000 – $19,500
Pre-procedure stay (outside hospital): ~7 days
Hospitalisation: ~14 days
Recovery period (outside hospital): ~42 days recommended
Total stay: approx 63 days
