The Renal Unit began performing transplants from living related donors in 1991 and along with
the Ruby Hall Clinic, jointly performed the first deceased donor transplant in Pune in 1997. The
team of nephrologists, urologists, general surgeons and vascular surgeons perform all possible
renal transplants including those on highly sensitized recipients and across ABO blood group
transplants.
We are also recognised for pancreatic and kidney-pancreas transplants, which may be of
special benefit to diabetic patients who form a large majority of patients with chronic kidney
disease. The hospital has participated in organ sharing with other units since 1997 and have
been a part of the Zonal Transplant Coordination Committees program since its inception in
2004. Currently our longest surviving patient has completed 29 years since receiving a renal
allograft.
