The Programme

Workup. Surgery. Lifetime follow-up.

Renacare's transplant programme is led by Dr. Anil Prasad Bhatt and senior transplant nephrologists with over 2,000 kidney transplants between them — including complex ABO-incompatible and HLA-incompatible cases. We deliver the full pathway under one team.

Pre-Transplant Workup

Comprehensive evaluation of the recipient — kidney function trajectory, comorbidities, cardiac and pulmonary clearance, infection screening, immunological workup, and counselling. The goal is honest medical preparation, not a checkbox exercise.

Donor Evaluation

Living donor evaluation is run with the same clinical rigour as the recipient — renal anatomy and function, surgical risk, psychological readiness, and ethics/legal compliance under THOTA. We protect the donor's long-term health as carefully as the recipient's.

Surgery & Hospital Coordination

Transplant surgery is performed at partner hospitals with our nephrology team co-managing peri-operative care. ABO-incompatible and HLA-incompatible protocols available where indicated.

Post-Transplant Follow-Up

The most important phase. Immunosuppression optimization, infection prevention, drug-level monitoring, graft function tracking — and timely graft biopsy when indicated. We don't hand you off after surgery. We stay with you.

Graft Biopsy

Focused evaluation for long-term transplant health.

A transplant kidney biopsy — also called a graft biopsy — is performed on the transplanted kidney (allograft) to assess its health, identify causes of graft dysfunction, and guide post-transplant treatment. Since a transplanted kidney behaves differently from native kidneys, this biopsy provides specific, decision-changing information.

Why is a Transplant (Graft) Biopsy Done?

  • Sudden swelling or discomfort over the graft
  • Unexplained rise in creatinine after transplant
  • Proteinuria or blood in the urine
  • Suspected acute or chronic rejection
  • Possible drug toxicity, especially from tacrolimus or cyclosporine
  • Suspected viral infections like BK virus nephropathy

What Makes a Transplant Biopsy Different?

  • The transplanted kidney is located superficially in the lower abdomen, making biopsy access easier and safer than a native kidney biopsy
  • The biopsy gives specific information about immune-mediated injury, drug effects, recurrent diseases, and chronic graft changes
  • It allows early intervention to prevent permanent graft damage — the difference between saving and losing the kidney

What Does a Transplant Biopsy Diagnose?

  • Acute T-cell mediated rejection
  • Antibody-mediated rejection
  • Calcineurin inhibitor toxicity (tacrolimus, cyclosporine)
  • BK virus nephropathy and other infections
  • Recurrent or new kidney diseases in the graft
  • Chronic allograft injury and scarring

After the Biopsy

Patients are observed closely because even minor changes can affect graft health. Bed rest for several hours, vital monitoring, and follow-up imaging if required. The biopsy result is typically available in 3–5 days and drives immediate management decisions.

Why Renacare

2,000+ transplants. One protocol. Lifetime accompaniment.

Volume

2,000+ transplant experience

Dr. Bhatt's transplant volume across Max Noida and partner institutions is one of the highest in North India private nephrology.

Complex

ABO & HLA incompatible cases

Established protocols for ABO-incompatible and HLA-incompatible transplants — for families where a perfect match isn't available.

One Team

Nephrology, urology, transplant — together

No bouncing between hospitals. One coordinated team from workup through lifetime follow-up.

Monitoring

In-house graft biopsy capability

Renacare nephrologists perform ultrasound-guided graft biopsies in-house with expert pathology review.
