WHAT SHOULD YOU EXPECT DURING THE PRE-TRANSPLANT
EVALUATION?
The pre-transplant evaluation is a comprehensive
process that helps determine if you are a
suitable candidate for a kidney transplant. This
phase is crucial, as it involves multiple tests
and consultations with specialists to ensure that
the surgery will be safe and successful. At
Hiranandani Hospital, the evaluation begins with
a series of blood tests to assess your overall
health and compatibility with potential donors.
You may also undergo imaging tests such as
ultrasounds or CT scans to examine your kidney
function and other vital organs. Additionally,
our team will review your medical history,
including any previous surgeries, chronic
conditions, or medications you are taking.

HOW SHOULD YOU PREPARE FOR THE DAY OF SURGERY?
The day of your kidney transplant is a
significant milestone, and proper preparation can
help reduce stress and ensure a smooth
experience. In the days leading up to the
surgery, you will receive specific instructions
from your surgical team, including guidelines on
fasting, medication adjustments, and what to
bring to the hospital. On the day of the
surgery, you should arrive at Hiranandani
Hospital well-rested and on time. Following all
pre-operative instructions, including fasting
from midnight before the surgery, is important.
You should also bring any necessary personal
items, such as comfortable clothing, toiletries,
and a list of your current medications.
