In a first at Solapur, two families help each other with kidney swap transplant

Pune | Tuesday | 18th September, 2018

Summary:

The “give and take” deal between the two families helped the doctors perform their first kidney swap transplant. “That is when we planned the kidney swap transplant,” Holkar told The Indian Express. Ambike and his team had performed the first kidney swap transplant in the city in 2008. A paired kidney exchange, also known as kidney swap, happens when a living kidney donor is incompatible with the recipient and so, he or she exchanges the kidneys with another donor/recipient pair. For several months, I have been unwell and hence, I registered for a kidney transplant,” says Arali..
