The Aga Khan University Hospital (AKUH) has launched its first kidney transplant centre in Karachi. An awareness event was organized by AKUH, attended by the media, different nephrologists, dialysis centre managers of Karachi, general physicians and endocrinologists of AKUH, as well as recently treated patients of the kidney transplant centre.
The purpose of the event was to increase awareness about the comprehensive kidney transplant services available at AKUH and to develop a relationship with dialysis centre managers and Nephrologists. To enhance the knowledge of patients regarding Kidney Transplants and to answer related queries, the experts at AKUH presented a detailed presentation highlighting some of the main concerns patients have regarding pre and post kidney transplants.
The team advised patients to consider getting a transplant before opting for a dialysis, as it is believed that kidney damage tends to get worse as one shifts to dialysis. "Dialysis is an option, but life is difficult and there may still be many problems involved. With a renal transplant they would be as normal as any person and can lead a normal life," said Dr Kunwar Naveed, Consultant, Nephrology. The highly qualified team at The Aga Khan University Hospital only advises patients regarding the correct path of treatment after proper examination.-PR
