Frequently Asked Questions Related to Kidney transplant Cost

There are three main blood tests that are essential before a kidney transplant: blood typing, tissue typing, and cross-matching. These are used to determine if the patient and the donor are a kidney match. The package covers the costs of these tests. 

Any medicines you consume that are recommended by the doctor and available at the hospital are covered in the package during your hospital stay. But if you buy any medicines outside the hospital, you have to pay for them separately.

If you receive a kidney from a living donor, the stay is 4-6 days, and if you receive a kidney from a deceased donor, the stay is 6-10 days. Children stay in the hospital for 10-14 days. Usually, the time span in the hospital depends on how well the kidney is working. Initially, you have to visit your doctor 2-3 times each week for follow-ups to ensure that your body is healing. The sutures or staples are removed a few weeks after the surgery. 

After the procedure, you will experience soreness and pain around the incision site. You can return back to your normal activities eight weeks after the transplant. You have to take antirejection medicines to maintain the transplanted organ for the first year after the transplant. You must have regular blood tests to check if your body is trying to reject the transplanted kidney.

Luckily, health insurance policies cover the cost of surgery as well as tests and procedures involved with getting the organ transplanted. Your post-transplant expenses will only be covered for a limited number of years.

The alternative to transplant in end-stage kidney disease is dialysis. There are two types of dialysis: Hemodialysis and Peritoneal dialysis. Before going for any dialysis, talk to your medical expert.
