First Kidney Transplant Without Blood Group Matching In Bhopal

BHOPAL, India - Sept. 20, 2022 - PRLog -- nderstanding ABO blood type compatibility for a kidney transplant

Every year about one-third of donors & recipients are declined the transplant due to ABO blood type incompatibility.

All people have one of four common blood types: O, A, B & AB. We are all compatible with our own blood type and possibly with others.

• Patients with an "AB" blood type can receive a kidney from anyone. They are the universal recipient.
  • "A" patient can receive a kidney from someone with an O or A blood type.
  • "B" patients can receive a kidney from an O or B blood relative.
  • "O" patients can only get a kidney from someone with the O blood type.

Even if your blood types are incompatible, the donor might still be able to donate directly to you thanks to medical procedures that lessen your blood antibody levels. In addition, the donor may consider donating through a paired exchange program which would allow you to get a kidney from another donor who is not a match for their intended recipient.

The only major requirement to carry out transplants with an incompatible blood type is to kill or lower the antibodies from the recipient's body.

Kidney Transplant without Blood Group Matching

Medical science is accomplishing new horizons every day. By being the first hospital in the city to perform such a rare type of transplant, Bansal Hospital, Bhopal is adding new feathers to the cap with every new achievement.

Three such successful transplants were performed within a period of 6 months.

Senior nephrologist, Dr. Vidyanand Tripathi told, "most of the patients, who do not find a donor in time, are required to survive on incessant dialysis treatment. Which turns traumatic for both the patient and his family. In such cases, a kidney transplant without a matching blood group is like giving new hope and life to the patient waiting to receive a transplant."

Bansal Hospital continues to perform such amazing and rare transplant & surgical procedures and commits to serving the citizens of Bhopal with the best possible healthcare services in town using the most advanced medical equipment and technologies at affordable rates.
