Don’t Let Costs Dictate Your health: Affordable Kidney Transplants in India
India is one of the leading destinations for patients looking for Quality & affordable treatment around the world. Treatments costing hundreds of thousands of dollars can be done for just a fraction of a cost here in India!
Key Benefits of choosing India as a destination for your Kidney Transplant:
So Affordable, It can be less than your Out-of-Pocket-Expenses!
Patients in the US facing renal transplantation have several major concerns:
Overwhelming Transplant Costs: Even though you may have an health insurance, your Out-Of-Pocket (OOP) expenses for a kidney transplant (costing $450,000) in the US can be overwhelming. In fact your Out-of-pocket expenses can be multiple times that of getting a transplant in India ($14000-$20000).
Insurance Claim Nightmare: Navigating insurance approvals, deductibles, co-pays, and potential denials is a nightmare. Some are even under-insured or uninsured leading to further suffering.
Life-long Out-of-Pocket Maximums: While OOP maximums exist, they reset annually, making multi-year care (common with transplants) incredibly expensive.
Lifetime Medication Costs (Immunosuppressants): This is a crucial and often overlooked point. Immunosuppressant Medication Costs in U.S. is $10,000 – $30,000+ per year, for life. The average annual cost for all outpatient drugs post-transplant (including immunosuppressants) can be an average of $18,200 for Kidney Transplant patients. The ongoing cost of these drugs is a life-long burden that can bankrupt families. Once operated in India, we can ensure regularly supply of drugs to our patients at fraction of cost in USA.
Burden of dialysis: Patients on dialysis have very low quality of life. Every year their suffering increases waiting for a donor or to make financial arrangements.

For living donor transplants, the process can be completed in 6-8 weeks total, with surgery and recovery taking 8 days in India, compared to US wait times of 2-5 years.

What tests are done to find a matching donor?
There are three main blood tests done to check for compatibility between donor and recipient:
Blood type test – This makes sure the donor’s blood type and the recipient’s blood type are a good match increasing the chances for a successful kidney transplant.
Crossmatch test – Doctors mix a sample of the donor’s blood with a sample of the recipient’s to see how they react. If there are no complications chances of risks are greatly reduced.
Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) Test – HLA testing identifies the specific HLA antigens present in the recipient’s cells, which are markers that can trigger an immune response if they don’t match the donor’s antigens. The test compares the recipient’s HLA type with potential donors to find the best match, minimizing the risk of rejection.
