About Sujani's Treatment

Sujani's journey stands as a powerful example of hope and resilience in the face of a chronic kidney condition. She was diagnosed with Native Kidney Disease - Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD), a progressive inherited disorder that eventually leads to kidney failure.

Seeking definitive treatment, Sujani came to Medicover Hospitals, Whitefield, Bangalore, where she consulted Dr Hareesha Babu K, Senior Consultant Nephrologist and Transplant Physician. After detailed evaluation and counselling, the medical team recommended a Live Renal Transplantation. With her father stepping forward as the donor, this life-saving procedure marked a major turning point in her health journey.

The transplant and recovery process were guided by expert medical planning, advanced surgical care, and compassionate post-transplant support, enabling Sujani to regain her health and quality of life.

What is Native Kidney Disease - ADPKD?

Autosomal Dominant Polycystic Kidney Disease (ADPKD) is a chronic genetic disorder in which multiple fluid-filled cysts develop in the kidneys. Over time, these cysts enlarge and replace healthy kidney tissue, leading to progressive loss of kidney function and, eventually, end-stage renal disease.

Common symptoms and complications of ADPKD include:

While ADPKD cannot be cured, early monitoring and medical management can slow disease progression. When kidney failure develops, renal transplantation offers the most effective long-term solution.

What Treatment did we provide to Sujani at Medicover?

Considering the advanced stage of Sujani's ADPKD, the most definitive and effective treatment was a Live Renal Transplantation. This procedure involved replacing her failing kidneys with a healthy kidney donated by her father.
