Pre Transplant

At Our Hospital offers an extensive range of pre-transplant services to ensure that patients are thoroughly evaluated, prepared, and optimized for organ transplantation, particularly kidney transplants. The pre-transplant phase is crucial as it involves assessing the patient’s overall health, identifying potential risks, and preparing them both physically and psychologically for the transplant surgery. Here’s a detailed overview of the pre-transplant services and some common surgeries related to transplant preparation at Shri Balaji Diagnostic

Comprehensive Medical Evaluation

• Health Assessment: Detailed evaluation of the patient’s medical history, physical examination, and review of previous treatments and responses.
• Laboratory Tests: Extensive blood and urine tests to assess kidney function, liver function, blood sugar levels, lipid profile, and overall metabolic status.
• Immunological Testing: Blood tests to determine blood type and tissue typing (HLA typing) to find the best donor match and assess the risk of rejection.
• Infectious Disease Screening: Tests for infections like hepatitis, HIV, tuberculosis, and other communicable diseases to ensure the patient is free of infections before transplant surgery.

Cardiopulmonary Evaluation

• Electrocardiogram (ECG): Assessment of heart function to ensure the patient can withstand the stress of surgery.
• Echocardiogram: Ultrasound of the heart to evaluate its structure and function.
• Pulmonary Function Tests: Tests to assess lung function and ensure respiratory health.

Nutritional Assessment

• Dietary Evaluation: Comprehensive assessment of the patient’s nutritional status and dietary habits.
• Personalized Nutrition Plan: Development of a tailored nutrition plan to optimize the patient’s health and prepare their body for surgery.

Psychological and Social Evaluation

• Mental Health Assessment: Evaluation of the patient’s psychological readiness for transplant, including coping mechanisms, mental health status, and support systems.
• Social Support Analysis: Assessment of the patient’s social environment and support systems to ensure they have adequate support during the transplant process and recovery period.
