The Kidney Transplant surgeons at Marengo CIMS Hospital here have created a record by successfully completing 100 kidney transplants within a span of nine years. This achievement is a testament to the hospital’s unwavering commitment to advancing healthcare and saving lives through organ transplantation. The medical team for kidney transplants has evolved over the last few years with advanced technology and enhanced surgical techniques to emerge as a preferred team for medical excellence in Renal Transplants, announced Dr Siddharth Mavani, Director- Nephrology & Kidney Transplant, Marengo CIMS Hospital, and his team comprising Dr Pankaj Shah, Dr Hitesh Desai, Dr Mayur Patil.
The surgical procedures in Renal Sciences commenced operations in the year 2015 with the first kidney transplant performed at Marengo CIMS Hospital. Over the past few years, the team has grown to be recognized for the pioneering surgical procedures they have adopted to enhance patient care and optimize faster patient recovery. In the transformative processes, the transplant outcomes have been expanding significantly to position the hospital as a preferred destination for organ transplants.
A kidney transplant is a surgical procedure in which a healthy kidney from a donor is placed into a person whose kidneys are no longer functioning properly. This transplant can come from either a living donor or a deceased donor. A kidney transplant is typically needed when someone has end-stage renal disease (ESRD) or kidney failure. This condition occurs when the kidneys are no longer able to filter waste and excess fluids from the blood effectively. Common causes of ESRD include chronic conditions like diabetes, high blood pressure, glomerulonephritis (inflammation of the kidney’s filtering units), and polycystic kidney disease.
Dr Siddharth Mavani, Director-Nephrology & Kidney Transplant, Marengo CIMS Hospital says, “The journey to achieve a century in kidney transplants has been incredible for the team. The dedication of each one of the team members to establish our clinical excellence as a potent force has been remarkable. We are so proud to have achieved a hundred to our credit. With the support the management has extended to us to make this possible, we are increasingly directed to do better to enhance patient care outcomes, save more and more lives, and strengthen our position as a preferred healthcare provider.”
Dr Keyur Parikh, Chairman, Marengo CIMS Hospital says, “As we celebrate the remarkable milestone of 100 successful kidney transplants at Marengo CIMS Hospital, we recognize the strength of the team of doctors with us, performing to their optimum skillful levels to achieve the best possible outcomes. We are also humbled by the trust and confidence each patient we treat has invested in our medical treatment solutions. As we embark on this incredible number of kidney transplants, we will continue this important work. We remain committed to promoting and supporting organ donation, for it holds the power to renew hope and restore vitality where it is most profoundly needed.”
Dr Raajiv Singhal, Managing Director & Group CEO, Marengo Asia Hospitals says, “We are immensely proud to have reached the milestone of performing 100 kidney transplants at our hospital. This achievement is a testament to the dedication, innovation, and compassionate care of our entire team, and it underscores our unwavering commitment to improving the lives of those affected by renal disease. As we look forward to the future, we remain dedicated to advancing our transplant program, embracing newer and advanced technologies, and continuing to offer life-changing solutions to those in need. This accomplishment is not just a number; it is a celebration of life, resilience, and the enduring spirit of our patients and medical team alike.”
An estimated 1.8 lakh persons suffer from renal failure every year. However, the number of renal transplants done is around 6,000 only. An estimated 2 lac patients die of liver failure or liver cancer annually in India, about 10-15% of which can be saved with a timely liver transplant. Kidney transplantation offers a ray of hope for individuals grappling with end-stage kidney disease. Unlike dialysis, which serves as a temporary solution, a successful kidney transplant can provide long-term relief and significantly improve the quality of life.
