sir, my father is siffering kidney problem since 2 years. he has treated in AIIMS, PGI, and now treatment is going in CMC vellore. dr. has told that there is kidney infection and there is need of transplant as soon as possible , but prior to transplant we want consultant with other renound hospital so kindly give me suggestion that what should we do at this stage.
Hello, There are many indications for kidney transplant. In which infection of kidney is one of the cause. But infection is a vague term to describe the condition because infection generally affects one kidney. And if one kidney is involved then there is no need of kidney transplant if another one is working normally. So in your question, the exact picture is not clear regarding infection. You didn't mention regarding any prior history of Diabetes or Hypertension or any other kidney disease. You also didn't mention father patient on dialysis or not. But according to your description, if all renounced institutes advised kidney transplant after seeing your father illness regarding infection of kidney, it means both kidneys are not working properly and there is a chance of sepsis that itself harm the body fatally. So my advice is gone for transplant if there is no chance of saving of kidney or if there is life-threatening condition. Thank you
