What are the factors that affect the Kidney transplant cost in Hyderabad?

Factors that affect the Kidney transplant cost in India
Type of procedure:Kidney transplant is carried out by two different ways viz. open surgery or laparoscopic surgery. Compared to open surgery, laparoscopic surgery is a valuable, stitch-less, less time consuming and fast recovery procedure. Hence, advanced operative techniques are charged more
Age of the Patient:Generally, kidney transplant is done on elderly patients with diseased kidney. Many times, kidneys are donated by their family members. But younger patients, need to wait for a longer duration due to the unavailability of donors. Hence, the patients need to survive on dialysis until they find the appropriate donor.
In younger patients, kidney transplant surgery is more sensitive, requires more precision and time. Ultimately, the above conditions lead to an increase in the kidney transplant surgery cost.
Type of the hospital:When you opt for a kidney transplant in a government or charitable hospital the expenses are less compared to private hospitals. The kidney transplant cost in government hospitals is an economical price and they serve valuable treatments. India is the hub of the best Kidney Transplant Hospitals. Thus, numerous patients choose these hospitals for treatment. Hence, the waiting period is also longer and needs 1-2 months for your turn to come.
Operating surgeon's fee:A kidney transplant is a sensitive operation and needs great precision. This can be achieved by highly experienced and skilled surgeons available in India and major cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Hyderabad, Chennai. The kidney operation cost depends on the surgeons with huge experience and hence might charge more.
Medications prescribed prior and post-surgery:A kidney transplant involves the replacement of a diseased kidney with a healthy kidney received from a donor. Hence, you need to take long-term medications like anti-rejection drugs to make your body compatible with a foreign organ. The cost for pre and post-operative medications is charged separately from surgery and the cost of organ transplant. The kidney replacement cost also depends on the hospital and the doctor operating.
Physiotherapy and rehabilitation:Physiotherapy and rehabilitation are implemented pre-& post-transplantation. It is effective in patients with chronic kidney disease and kidney transplants to help amplify the quality of life by upgrading muscle strength, prevention of extreme fatigue and strengthens aerobic capacity.

My uncle is a 50 year old with a history of diabetes and arrythmia. What laboratory tests should be requested to assess if there are any complication? If a patient has CKD what blood value would most likely be elevated?

Male | 50

Lab tests he­lp doctors check health issues. Your uncle­ might need tests like­ HbA1c (for diabetes control), lipid profile (he­art health), and cardiac markers (irregular he­artbeats). With kidney disease­, creatinine leve­ls usually rise. That may cause fatigue and swe­lling as kidneys struggle. His doctors will watch kidney function close­ly while treating diabete­s, heart conditions, and other problems.

Sir my husband need kidney transplant can you do free transplant

Male | 56

Do you have a donor in the family, should be a primary question. Primary workup will be needed of you have a fit donor. If a good match is available in a related donor, a lot of your expense can be funded by trust and schemes. And lastly nothing is free. Even if someone sponsors your surgical part, post op immunosuppression medicines also have cost of 8-10k monthly.
