CARE Hospitals Performs Complex ABO-Incompatible Kidney Transplant on 60-Year-Old
A 60-year-old teacher had serious kidney disease and needed dialysis three times a week.
He had been receiving dialysis for two years.
His wife wanted to donate a kidney, but their blood groups did not match.
Doctors used special treatments to lower the patient’s antibody levels before the transplant.
They also gave him medicines to help stop his body from rejecting the kidney.
The doctors had to watch carefully for infections because he was older and had diabetes.
The transplant was successfully completed at CARE Hospitals.
It may help him live a more independent and active life.
CARE Hospitals, Hi-Tech City, performed an ABO-incompatible kidney transplant on a 60-year-old teacher.
The patient had chronic kidney disease and underwent dialysis three times weekly for two years.
His wife donated a kidney despite their incompatible blood groups.
Doctors used plasmapheresis and immunosuppressive therapy to reduce antibody levels and prevent rejection.
The patient’s age, diabetes, hypertension and infection history increased the procedure’s risks.
