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.

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.

Relationship

Hi I am 34 year old male and want to settle down but also in doubt that the marriage will take my independence. I started looking for bride with arrange marriage option. I am taking to a girl for last 3-4 months 2 time a week. I never had any serious relationship before and don't know what exactly to lookout in marriage. The girl I am seeing has average looks and physique but she okay with conversation and little shy and majority of the conversation I have only started. Her weight or BMI is very low around 19 and my BMI is overweight above 26. There is different in 45-50 kgs in weight. Am I working too much about physical appearance and should I interact with other prospects also. I have meet with her family along with my parent two times and little worried that more meeting will led to frustration if marriage didn't materialize. I have also left my current job and taking some break before joining new one. Will this career break will impact my marriage prospects. Also sometimes I feel that I may have set my standards very high as I am well educated from good institute and I can explore many options before choosing one. Is this leading me to non commitment as I may find some fault to not commit to marriage.

Ans: too many questions...in summary - education and being in a relationship are 2 different things - for a detailed conversation you may google me and schedule an interaction to discuss.
