Kidney Transplant Punjab

Introduction

Punjab has one of India's higher burdens of chronic kidney disease, commonly linked in public health discussions to rising rates of diabetes, hypertension and lifestyle-related conditions across the state. For patients in Ludhiana, Jalandhar, Amritsar, Patiala, Bathinda and surrounding districts, access to a specialist kidney transplant and dialysis centre close to home — rather than travelling to Delhi or further — makes a meaningful difference to treatment continuity and family support.

Kidney Transplant Chandigarh, based at IVY Hospital, Mohali, serves as a regional referral centre for patients across Punjab, offering the full spectrum of nephrology and urology care: from early kidney-disease management and dialysis to complex, including ABO-incompatible, kidney transplant surgery.

For dialysis patients: choice between hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis discussed based on lifestyle and medical suitability.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to relocate to Chandigarh/Mohali for a kidney transplant?

No. Most Punjab-based patients travel for the surgery and initial recovery period, then return home for follow-up, with periodic visits or teleconsultations as advised by the transplant team.

Is ABO-incompatible (mismatched blood group) kidney transplant available?

Yes. Our team has performed 50+ ABO-incompatible transplants, which widens the pool of eligible living donors for patients who do not have a blood-group-matched donor.

What is the difference between hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis?

Hemodialysis filters blood through a machine, typically at a dialysis centre a few times a week. Peritoneal dialysis uses the lining of the abdomen and can often be done at home. Suitability depends on the patient's health status and lifestyle, and is discussed during consultation.

How soon can a patient from Punjab get an appointment?

Enquiries submitted through our contact page are typically responded to within 24–48 hours to schedule an initial consultation.

If you or a family member in Punjab has been advised dialysis or a kidney transplant, our team can guide you through diagnosis, donor evaluation and treatment planning
