1. What is a living donor kidney transplant?

A living donor kidney transplant is a surgical procedure where a healthy person donates one of their two functioning kidneys to a patient with end-stage renal failure. The donor can live a normal, healthy life with one remaining kidney.

2. Who can be a living kidney donor in Turkey?

Under Turkish regulation, living donors are typically blood relatives up to the 4th degree, or spouses. Non-related donors must undergo approval by an official Ethics Committee to confirm voluntary, non-commercial intent.

3. How long does the kidney transplant surgery take?

The donor surgery takes approximately 2 to 3 hours using laparoscopic techniques. The recipient transplantation surgery typically takes 3 to 5 hours depending on vascular complexity.

4. How long do I need to stay in Istanbul for treatment?

Patients and donors should plan to stay in Istanbul for approximately 3 to 4 weeks to complete pre-op evaluations, surgery, hospital recovery, and essential outpatient follow-ups.

5. Is living donor nephrectomy safe for the donor?

Yes. Laparoscopic donor nephrectomy is a highly safe, routine procedure. Donors are thoroughly screened before surgery to ensure that giving a kidney will not compromise their health.

6. How long does a transplanted kidney last?

A kidney from a living donor lasts an average of 15 to 20 years or longer when anti-rejection medications are taken as prescribed and proper medical care is maintained.

7. Will I need to take medications after surgery?

Yes. Recipients must take daily immunosuppressive (anti-rejection) medications for as long as the transplanted kidney is functioning to prevent the immune system from attacking the new organ.

8. When can I stop dialysis after the transplant?

In most successful living donor transplants, the new kidney starts functioning immediately during surgery, allowing the patient to stop dialysis right away.

9. When can I return to normal daily activities?

Donors can return to light activity in 2 to 3 weeks. Recipients gradually resume normal routines over 6 to 12 weeks, avoiding heavy lifting or strenuous exercise during early healing.

10. Why is Biruni Hospital a trusted destination for kidney transplantation?

Biruni Hospital combines high clinical expertise, advanced surgical infrastructure, strict legal compliance, and dedicated international patient care, making it a leading global center for kidney restoration.
