Dr. L H Hiranandani Hospital: How COVID Impacts Kidney Transplant

At the initial times, there was fear both amongst the professionals that COVID-19 was known to drastically reduce the immunity of a patient, and then postoperatively immune suppressants would have to be exhibited. Thus the 'double whammy' of a patient who gets an infection would land into a serious situation that could jeopardize the life of the recipient. Thus, the number of transplant feel and correspondingly the number in the dialysis centers increased!! At this moment the Hiranandani Powai Hospital that is approved for renal transplant by the Government of Maharashtra is also taking up the challenge to reassure patients that there will not be a challenge if they choose to go in for a transplant as the hospital has very strict protocols for Infection Control and also COVID as the areas are fully separate and even the staff attending are completely different. Yet the challenge is for the patient to overcome the inhibition and the mindset of getting a transplant performed.
