New Delhi: Two kidneys removed from 78-year-old man brain dead donor Transplanted for the first time in a single recipient at All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) in Delhi.
The function of both kidneys after surgery was good. The 51-year-old woman from Delhi has been undergoing dialysis for almost five years and currently has her four kidneys in her body, including two of her own.
Doctors said one kidney was not enough for the brain-dead patient, who was over 60 years old and on dialysis.
Dr Asri Krishna, Additional Professor, Department of Surgery, AIIMS, told TOI that kidneys from brain-dead donors are usually given to two patients. “But in such an elderly donor, the function of the kidneys is already compromised. So giving one kidney to a patient who needs one is a kidney transplant “It may not serve the purpose,” he said.
Dr Krishna said the surgery was performed on December 22 by a transplant team from the Department of Surgery, including Dr Sushant Soren and Professor V Seenu. “Both kidneys were placed one on top of the other on the recipient’s right side. The transplant took nearly three hours,” he said.
Doctors said organs from such elderly donors would normally be rejected. This type of surgery is a great example of leveraging limited resources to bridge the huge gap between supply and demand for organs in India.
According to published studies, survival rates are double kidney transplant The grafts were similar to those of single kidney transplant grafts. “Bi-kidney transplantation reduces the number of patients on the waiting list and also limits unnecessary disposal of viable organs,” the doctors said.
This was a collaborative effort between the Department of Surgery led by Professor Dipankar Bhowmik and Dr Sandeep Mahajan, the Department of Nephrology, Professor Arti Vij from Organ Recovery Banking Corporation and Mr Balram, Transplant Coordinator.
According to doctors, the 78-year-old woman was admitted to the AIIMS Trauma Center on December 19 with severe head injuries after falling down the stairs. She could not be revived and was declared brain dead.her family agreed to it organ donation.

Dialysis or kidney transplant: choose one
The prevalence of CKD is increasing in India, but it often goes unnoticed initially. The majority are diagnosed at an advanced stage. Kidney transplantation is preferred over dialysis due to longevity, quality of life, and cost-effectiveness. Preemptive transplantation is suggested for optimal results and economic savings.
