Hyderabad: NIMS doctors perform four kidney transplants in 24 hours

According to an official statement, the Cadaver transplant recipients, who have received kidneys from brain-dead beating heart donors have hailed from Mahbubnagar, Karimnagar and Hyderabad districts.

"All three have been suffering from end-stage renal failure and have been receiving hemodialysis for the past 4 to 5 years," the statement said.

It said that a husband donated the kidney to his wife for a live-related transplant.

"The husband donated the kidney to his wife for a live-related transplant. They hail from Hyderabad and the patient was suffering from end-stage renal failure for the past 2 years," it said.

The statement informed that all 4 transplant recipients are doing well with good urine output.

"All 4 transplant recipients are doing well with good urine output indicative of a successful kidney transplant. The donor for the live transplant is also recovering well," it said, adding that it was made possible because of two dedicated transplant operation theatres with laminar flow.
