Organ Donation – an overview

Organ donation can be called the best inheritance that we can leave behind. It is one of the most beautiful gifts that we humans are capable of gifting to one another – a lease of new life. Today, with the field of medicine progressing and undergoing revolutionary advancements, it is extremely viable for a human to donate selected organs to fellow human being. Organ donation is like the last hope for survival for many people around the globe. But sadly, the number of people waiting to receive an organ is mostly higher than the people, who are eager to contribute towards this cause.

While our body overall depreciates during the lifetime, sometimes diseases or genetics may attack and destroy one specific organ while the remaining body remains comparatively healthier. It depends on which organ is wearing down. There are various life-sustaining treatment options before transplantation that can be helpful to improve your health. For example, when it comes to kidneys, dialysis helps a person who has damaged kidneys. But, the rest of the body has to bear the brunt due to the side effects. A person on dialysis faces a higher risk of cardiovascular disease because dialysis brings down the amount of antioxidants that generally fight toxins within our body

Types of organ donation

There are principally two types of organ donation – living donation and deceased donation.

• Living organ donation

Living donation is when someone donates a portion of their liver or one of their kidneys to a patient while the donor is still alive. Living donors can donate one kidney, a lung, or a portion of the liver, pancreas, or intestine.

Showcasing the Impeccable Expertise for Kidney Transplant Surgery

A countless number of kidney transplant surgeries flawlessly accomplished at India Organ Transplant brilliantly reflects our success stories. One such case is of a 50 years old man from landlocked country of Uganda, Joy.Just as the name displays is a man full of life, dynamism, and unending energy. Even at the age of 50, he has the verve and passion to take up the most impossible challenges and enjoys whatever life throws at him with a smile.Joy, He had the same smile and vivacity on his face the day he was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease and was recommended to have a transplant.

Joy from Uganda

With his smile we also discovered the beauty of a selfless relationship when his 28 years daughter Sandra voluntary stepped ahead to donate her kidney to her father. The entire family was out on a vacation for a 7 days trip to Kenya. The first three days were full of fun, loads of happiness, a bit of adventure, and a complete ocean of smiles. The fourth day when Joy woke up and was getting ready for the Safari, he felt slight pain in the chest followed by vomiting. Joy took it very lightly and was off to get ready for the safari. The same repeated after a couple of hours and then for the next two days as well. His family got a bit worried and wanted to return home. However, somehow he convinced them to complete the tour with an assurance that he is perfectly fine. They returned home with lots of beautiful memories mixed with a moment of distress and agony due to ill health. Thereafter there were no signs of any illness so they all considered it an outcome of weather change. Following days and weeks, Joy started to experience loss of appetite, muscle cramps, swelling in the ankles, itchiness, and traces of blood in the urine. This became a serious concern and they consulted their family doctor. The early symptoms of kidney failure are never apparent but with all these symptoms in a nutshell, there was something to be worried. The doctor advised to go for an ultrasound scan, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan, blood test, and urine test. When the reports arrived, it indicated that Joy was experiencing chronic kidney disease and dialysis might not work for him. At that very moment, Sandra and her mother had tears rolling from the edge of their eyes but Joy was sitting calm on the chair with his forever smile.

The doctor advised Joy to get in touch with some kidney specialist or a transplant surgeon for the best treatment. He did pass on some recommendations as well. The three together put all heads and hearts in searching the best doctor for a second opinion and treatment. They discussed the case with all friends and relatives. While hunting they come across a far away relative who recommended them to India Organ Transplant in India. This relative himself has experienced a successful lung transplant surgery through the same medical tourism company in India. Sandra wanted to be very sure so she did an online research about the company and came across several positive reviews and praiseworthy appreciations. She somehow got convinced and contacted the company through mail. She received an immediate response asking to share the reports of her dad. With all the concern and due respect for the quick response she received, Sandra shared all the medical reports with the team at India Organ Transplant. Our team of medical experts deeply scanned all the reports for analysis and the same was further shared with top kidney specialists and hospitals in India. After multiple analysis and recommendations from top transplant surgeons across the country, the conclusion was a kidney transplant surgery. We assigned a coordinator to the case who shared all the facts with Sandra. She further discussed everything with her parents and they took about 20 days to conclude and make up their mind to take a medical trip to India.

All through the time, she was in constant communication with the assigned coordinator who also discussed with her about kidney donation and shared all the essentials concerning the donor and the recipient. The coordinator explained Sandra that a kidney donor that can be a living person or deceased. He also clarified that although a non-relative can be a donor but most often, it is advisable to have a kidney from a voluntary donor from your family like parents, siblings, grandparents and spouse falling in the age group of 18 to 60 years and with a compatible blood group. It is also important that the donor should be free of health ailments like hypertension, diabetes, hepatitis, and immunodeficiency virus infection. The most significant aspect of being a donor is that both the kidneys should be in optimal working conditions. After this communication with the coordinator, the next morning she discussed the same within the family. Sandra was confused because her mother was a diabetic patient and she could not think of anyone else who could donate. With a sudden thrust, she stood up and said, “I’ll donate my kidney to my loving dad”. This might be the first moment when Sandra and her mother saw a tear tricking down Joy’s eyes. For hours, there was silence in the house. Sandra quietly moved out and got her blood test to check the compatibility of her blood group. She waited in the diagnostic center until evening to collect her report. Her blood group was matching with her father and she got adamant to stick to her decision. She returned home and slept without uttering a word.

Next morning Sandra contacted us to know the process further and understand the entire process. Everything was clearly explained and communicated, even the cost of the treatment. By this time, her level of comfort and trust with the team of India Organ Transplant was at a rise. On advising by the coordinator, she shared her and her parent’s passport. Our team assisted to get the medical visa to India and after they shared the flight ticket with us, we made all the arrangements for travel and accommodation. All through the time, Joy had become a silent and helpless spectator whereas Sandra’s mother was purposely quiet because she had no choice.

On arrival to India, the three were warmly welcomed at the airport and were taken to the hospital after a quick freshen up at the hotel. They had a personal consultation with the top most kidney transplant surgeon in India who was about to perform the surgery. As recommended both Joy and Sandra were put on a 15 days pre-evaluation test. The doctor assessed the recipient for physical, psychological, and anatomic fitness with a series of radiology and blood tests. Furthermore, the doctor assessed and evaluated the donor for individual kidney function and sustainability of her kidney as a donor through a series of radioisotope renogram, computed tomography, angiography, and tissue typing.

After the evaluation, the surgery was performed on the prescribed date and time under the guidance of one of the top kidney transplant surgeons along with his team of talented doctors, medical professionals, and nurses. Both the surgeries had to go simultaneously because the life of a kidney without blood supply is only 5 to 10 minutes. While Sandra was being operated, the abdominal cavity of Joy was being prepared for the transplant. Immediately after extracting the kidney from Sandra’s body, the doctor placed the kidney within the abdominal cavity prepared in Joy with constant checking and verifying for optimal placement. Simultaneously the surgical team was making the sutures for Sandra to complete the surgery with 100% effectiveness. In the mean time, the doctor was working on Joy to connect the ureter, arteries, and veins to the transplanted kidney with an assurance that the kidney is functioning flawlessly. Thereafter the sutures were made and the transplant was complete.

Joy and Sandra were then shifted to care units for personal care where the nurses too good care for the next three days. Sandra was discharged with no further medications and complications. However, Joy’s stay at the hospital was extended for two day to ensure the effectiveness of the transplanted kidney. On the day of discharge, Joy was asked to follow a course of medication and strict diet for a couple of weeks and a follow-up through phone calls. The family stayed there for about a week after the surgery so that any complications can be taken care, as Joy’s wife was alone. After a week, she was happy taking her husband and full of pride taking her daughter back home in the best of their health. Our coordinator went to drop them at the airport and bid them a compassionate goodbye with a wish to stay healthy and happy.

It has been a privilege to greet them and treat them with the best of our knowledge, expertise, and medical care. We still remember Sandra’s last words in a soft and slow tone, when she left the hospital after postoperative care, “Thank You Team India Organ Transplant”. Today, it’s been a year and both Joy and Sandra are living a healthy life following their routine lifestyle.

This offers an alternative for people waiting for a deceased donor, and it increases the number of organs available, saving more lives. Living donors can be friends, spouses, family members, or altruistic donors, who wish to help someone in need.

• Deceased organ donation

It is important to remember, that deceased donation is only possible after all attempts to save the patient’s life have been tried, and brain death has been declared. Even though the person, who is brain dead, is technically dead, but the organs would be still functioning and hence appropriate for organ donation. Such a donor can donate kidneys, liver, lungs, heart, pancreas, and intestines. In 2014, hands and faces were added to the organ transplant list.

About Kidneys

The kidneys are bean-shaped organs in the human body, each approximately the size of a fist. They are located just below the rib cage, one located on each side of the spine. Every day, our kidneys process about 200 quarts of blood to filter out about 2 quarts of waste products and excess water. These wastes become urine, which flow to the bladder through tubes referred to as ureters. The bladder stores urine till it is released through urination. These wastes in the blood come from the normal breakdown of active tissues, such as muscles, and from the consumed food. Once the body has taken what it needs from food, the wastes are sent to the blood. If the kidneys do not remove these wastes, then these wastes would build up in the blood and can affect the body.

The real removal of wastes happens in tiny units inside the kidneys called Nephrons; each kidney having around a million Nephrons. There is a glomerulus in the nephron, which is a tiny blood vessel, or capillary-intertwines with a small urine-collecting tube called a tubule. This glomerulus acts as a filtering unit, or sieve, and keeps normal proteins and cells in the bloodstream, ultimately allowing extra fluid and wastes to pass through. Then, a complicated chemical exchange takes place, where waste materials and water leave the blood and enter the urinary system.

At first, the tubules receive a combination of waste materials and chemicals, which the body can still use. The kidneys measure or sift out the chemicals like sodium, phosphorus, and potassium and release them back to the blood and control the body's level of these substances.

Further, in addition to removal of the wastes, the kidneys release three vital hormones:

• erythropoietin, or EPO, which stimulates the bone marrow to make red blood cells
• renin, which regulates blood pressure
• calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D, which helps maintain calcium for bones and for normal chemical balance in the body

Why do Kidneys fail?

Maximum kidney or renal ailments attack the Nephrons, which cause these to lose their filtering capacity. This kind of damage to the Nephrons can happen suddenly, or may result due to injury or poisoning. But most kidney diseases destroy the nephrons slowly and silently. The damage may appear after years or even decades. Most kidney diseases attack both kidneys simultaneously and the two most usual causes of kidney diseases are Diabetes and High Blood Pressure. Further, people with a family history of any kind of kidney problem are also at risk for kidney disease.

Common Causes of End-Stage Renal Disease

• Diabetes Mellitus
• High blood pressure
• Glomerulonephritis
• Polycystic Kidney Disease
• Severe anatomical problems of the urinary tract

Treatments

The cure and treatment options for end-stage renal disease are:

• Hemodialysis, which is a mechanical process of cleaning the blood from waste products;
• Peritoneal dialysis, in which waste products are removed by passing chemical solutions through the abdominal cavity;
• and kidney transplantation.

However, a transplant is the best answer to getting close to a normal life again. In this, the failed kidneys are swapped by transplanted kidneys. This procedure comes from two sources:

• Living Donor

However, a Kidney Transplant in India is the best answer to getting close to a normal life again. In this, the failed kidneys are swapped by transplanted kidneys by the Renal Transplant Specialists in India. This procedure comes from two sources:

• Deceased Donor

A deceased donor kidney comes from an individual, who has suffered a brain death; someone who can give consent to organ donation at the time of death or even allows families to provide such permission as well. After this, the kidneys are removed and stored till the time a recipient has been selected.

Kidney Transplant Surgery Cost in India

The average Cost of Kidney Transplant Surgery in India is around Rs.9,60,000 ($12,000) to Rs.12,80,000 ($16,000). The cost depends on several factors like the type of procedure, surgeon's fees, hospital charges and other associated costs

The Evaluation Procedure

In any case of Kidney Transplant – living donor or deceased donor – blood tests are done to find out the type of blood and tissue. These tests results facilitate the matching of a donor kidney to the recipient.

Blood Type Testing – This establishes the blood type. The recipient and donor should have either the same blood type or compatible ones, unless they are participating in a special program that allows donation across blood types. Below list shows compatible types:

• If the recipient blood type is A then the Donor blood type must be A or O
• If the recipient blood type is B then the Donor blood type must be B or O
• If the recipient blood type is O then the Donor blood type must be O
• If the recipient blood type is AB then the Donor blood type can be A, B, AB, or O

• The blood group AB is the most convenient to match, the reason being that this individual can accepts all other blood types.
• But the Blood type O is the hardest one to match. Although people with blood type O can donate to all types, they can receive kidneys only from donors having Blood type O. So, if a patient with blood type O receives the kidney from a donor having Blood group A, then the body would reject or destroy it, recognizing it to be a foreign body.

Tissue Typing – This is a blood test for human leukocyte antigens (HLA). Antigens are markers found on many cells of the body, which distinguish each person as unique and these markers are inherited from the parents. Both recipients and the potential donors have tissue typing performed during the evaluation process.

Crossmatch – The human body makes substances called antibodies which are very vital because they destroy the foreign materials. Individuals may make antibodies every time there is an infection, with pregnancy, have a blood transfusion, or undergo a kidney transplant. If there are antibodies to the donor kidney, the body may destroy the kidney. For this reason, when a donor kidney is available, Crossmatch is done to ensure that the recipient does not have pre-formed antibodies to the donor.

This process is done by mixing the recipient's blood with cells from the donor. If the crossmatch comes positive, it means that there are antibodies against the donor and the recipient should not receive this kidney, unless a special treatment is performed to reduce the antibody levels. If the crossmatch is negative, that means the recipient does not have antibodies to the donor and is eligible to receive this kidney. Crossmatches are performed many times while preparation for a living donor transplant and a final Crossmatch is done within 48 hours before this type of transplant.

Serology – Tests are also done for viruses, such as HIV (human immunodeficiency virus), hepatitis, and CMV (cytomegalovirus) in order to choose the proper preventive medications after transplant. These viruses are checked in any potential donor to help stop the spreading disease to the recipient.

Reasons of Excluding Transplant Recipient

• Irreparable Cardiovascular disease
• History of metastatic Cancer or ongoing Chemotherapy
• Active systemic infections
• Unmanageable psychiatric illness
• Current neurological impairment with significant cognitive impairment and no surrogate decision maker

The Procedure

The procedure generally takes 2-4 hours and is done under general anaesthesia. This kind of operation is referred to as a Heterotopic Transplant, which means that the kidney is placed in a different location than the existing kidneys. Liver and Heart transplants are Orthotopic transplants, in which the diseased organ is removed and the transplanted organ is placed in the same location. The original kidneys are not usually removed unless they are causing severe problems such as uncontrollable high blood pressure, frequent kidney infections, or are greatly enlarged. The artery that carries blood to the kidney and the vein that carries blood away is connected to the artery and the vein that is already present in the pelvis of the recipient. The ureter, or tube, that carries urine from the kidney is connected to the bladder. The span of hospital stay is usually 3-7 days.

The possibility of complications is there with any surgery. The following complications are very rare but can happen:

• Bleeding, infection, or wound healing problems
• Difficulty in the circulation of blood to the kidney or problem with the flow of urine from the kidney

These complications may require another surgery to correct them.

Rejection Episodes

Now-a-days, chances of rejection are much lesser due to the advancements in the post transplant and immunosuppressive medicines. At the same time, the risk of rejection varies from person to person. For most people, rejection can be prevented with the help of special anti-rejection medicines. But it is very crucial that the patient is very regular about the follow ups to keep a check on how well the kidney is working. This will immensely help the person in getting back to his or her regular life sooner.
