Kidney transplant specialists at the Mahatma Gandhi Hospital (MGM) in Jaipur recently performed an exchange kidney transplant on six patients in one day, the hospital reported Thursday.
While all transplants took place on May 8, the hospital issued a statement on Thursday after following up on the health of patients and donors to ensure they are all well.
In the first case, Bahrur resident Nishant’s blood group was type B positive while his donor mother Lalta Devi’s blood group was positive, said the head of nephrology at the hospital, Professor Suraj Godara. There was a problem with the transplant because of the antibodies. In this case, the kidney of the swap donor Sarita Yadav was transplanted.
In the second case, kidney patient Rajni Sharma, a resident of Sri Ganganagar, had AB positive blood group while her husband Gauri Shankar’s blood group was positive. In such a situation, kidney transplantation also cannot be done due to antibodies. Through the exchange transplant, she was given a kidney from the matching exchange donor Munni Devi.
In the third case, Usha Shakya’s blood group from Jaipur was positive, while donor Ramesh Chand’s blood group was positive. It was transplanted with the kidney of exchange donor Lalta Devi Meena.
In the fourth case, Preeti Soni, a resident of Junghono, had a positive blood group, while her donor, her mother, Munni Devi, had a positive blood type B. She was transplanted with the kidney of swap donor Ramesh Chand. The fifth case was also similar as Mahipal Singh’s blood group from Didwana was positive while the blood group of the donor, mother Swaroop Kanwar was A positive. In such a case, Gaurishankar Sharma’s swap donor kidney was transplanted. In the sixth case, Dinesh Yadav, a resident of Mainpuri, had A positive blood group while his donor wife Sarita had B blood group. In the absence of a matching blood group, he was waiting for a matching donor for a long time. In such a case, Kanwar kidney was transplanted as a swap donor.
The patients were placed in the intensive care unit and discharged after ten days. In the latest follow-up, all patients and all donors were found to be doing well and will return to normal routines “very soon,” the hospital said.
According to Urologist and Director of Kidney Transplant Unit at MGH Prof. TC Sadasukhi and Dr. Godara, reciprocal kidney transplantation can be performed when there are many patients and donors waiting. With the latest batch of transplants, MGH’s number of kidney transplants has grown to more than 1,600, among the highest in the state.
