Cheapest Kidney Transplant in India: Free & Low Cost
Kidney transplant also known as renal transplant is a surgery under which healthy kidney is placed in the body of the patient. Donors are typically family members or persons who have died. In India, nearly 6 lacs people require kidney transplant every year.
The cost of kidney transplant in India at private hospitals is high and normally costs between 2-3 lacs because of which the treatment is not affordable by patients from low income group resulting in death of the patient which is slow and painful.
But remember that – Cost of transplant is dependent upon many factors and for a particular patient the cost cannot be confirmed at the beginning.

Preventing is the best solution
Since treatment is still not feasible, doctors advice that preventing kidney disease is one of the best solution to avoid transplant in the future. Control on diabetes and high blood cholesterol is the first and most important step in preventing kidney failure.
