Is Transplantation Safe?
I want to know how long it will take to ensure that one who done the transplantation is safe and live with normal diet and I want to know how long the medicines to be continued on normal conditions. I want to know what are the things to be taken care of by the doner to live a healthy life

Transplantation is the best modality to improve life expectancy at present. But 1st year post Transplantation is very crucial. If you are doing well in 1st year, you will do good afterwards. Average life expectancy with Transplantation is 25 years where as with dialysis, it is 6-8 years. About the donor..nothing special. But annual check up and avoidance of non vegetarian diet and pain killers is advisable. All the best. If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
