I am 39 years old and suffering from kidney problem since 6 months. My cretanine level was around 15 at one point of time. But due to frequent dialysis since last month, it has come down within controllable level. Now, the doctors are pressing for kidney transplant as long term remedy to the problem. We are very puzzled as each doctor comes up with their own advise and their is lack of consistency among them. We have registered for a cadavar transpant too in apollo hospital but we are unsure when our number will come up. kindly advise.

Ans: Only two options are there in patients with end stage kidney disease which you are suffering from. Either dialysis or kidney transplantation. Considering your age, Kidney transplantation is the treatment of choice. Even though both modalities have its pros and cons, transplantation is better as it offers better quality of life, better survival chances and better financial benefits on a long run. It is always better to consider living donor kidney transplantation. Cadaver should be considered only if there is no living donor. Cadaver transplantation might take a long time and is uncertain. I would suggest you to explore living donations as much as possible. Are you in Apollo Bangalore.

Sir, I am 46 years old. My creatine level is 12.5. I am on dialysis since 2 years. Weekly 3 times. I have registered for transplant in SDM, Hubli since 1 year. there is no progress in the waiting list for kidney transplant. Which hospital is best for transplant in Bangalore. I would like to shift my transplant registration to bangalore. please advice.

Ans: Hi. You seems to be young. Continuing on dialysis for a long duration waiting for the transplant is not a good idea. We need to explore the possibility of living donor kidney transplantation. We can also consider ABO incompatible transplantation. Many centres in Bangalore are doing kidney transplantation. I am working in Aster RV hospital, JP Nagar, Bangalore. It is a high volume transplant centre. If want, you can come with all details so that we can explore the possibility of living donor kidney transplantation.

Health

Hi Dr I am 42 years male on single kidney having gone radical nephrectomy earlier this year due to malignant cyst on the right kidney. After surgery I am completely back to normal life and is under periodic check up. My creatinine levels are bit on the higher side which is 1.47 when tested yesterday and also phosphorus is 5.2 . I am a bit worried on the same. Kindly advise what to do

Ans: Reduce the intake of milk and milk products. Keep a close watch on creatinine every 2 months. Avoid pain killers. Follow a healthy lifestyle. Some elevation in the creatinine is expected after nephrectomy which usually will get stabilised after some time. But needs regular follow with a nephrologist.

Hello sir , my son completed his Diploma in mech engg. after 10th and working at jsw steel as campus placed . pl suggest how he can do B tech while working or he shd leave job to do B tech. pl guide

Ans: Hello
To do BTech, it would be better to leave the job. Doing B.Tech. while earning is not recommended. Yet, if your financial conditions do not permit, then he can do so. For B.Tech. admission, keep a close eye on a state-level counseling process where your son can apply for it. If eligible, your son will be admitted to 2nd year of mechanical engineering.

dear sir, i've got civil engineering in Jadavpur university....i want to pursue a career in mechatronics and AI robotics and do MS abroad in these subjects....i have an option of upgrading my branch to power eng, production eng and chemical eng.....i will do an online cs course to upskill myself in coding...what branch do u think i should prefer/ what should be my preference order?

Ans: Hello Shreyan
Your aims are different but you have been admitted to Jadavpur for Civil Engineering. Upgrading to Power Engg, Product branch will not solve your problems. At any time you can do CS courses online to upskill your knowledge in coding. It would be better for you to join any good institute for CSE + AI/ML to fulfill your dreams of working in Robotics and allied fields. If possible, shift from Civll to CSE AI/ML/DS
