What you need to do to get a kidney transplant at our centre
If you are willing to come to our centre in Turkey, the first thing you need to do is contact us. If you wish, we can refer you for some pre-transplant evaluation tests for both the recipient and the donor before you arrive in Istanbul. In this way we can eliminate unsuitable couples before they arrive. If the pre-transplant tests are fine, we will invite you to come here.
Turkish law accepts a wide range of relationships between donor and recipient. That’s four degrees, so your nephew can donate to you. If you have a donor who is a distant relative or a friend of yours, we will refer you to the Ethics Committee after evaluation.The Ethics Committee evaluates all cases and if they agree that this is a suitable unrelated donation, then you can have a transplant at our centre.
The main motivation for our team is to have long-term graft survival after kidney transplantation, and because of this focus, we have a very detailed pre-transplant evaluation, and the most important influence of this pre-transplant evaluation is the immunology laboratory. We have access to deal with highly sensitised patients and we also have access to do ABO incompatible transplantation and especially our payer donation programme allows unsuitable couples to have transplantation in our centre.
And I would like to mention that the most important thing is to have good long-term survival. Florence Nightingale Hospital is an advanced hospital where bone marrow transplantation, liver transplantation can be done and all advanced complicated cases can be cured by specialists, so it’s not only our team, but the aspects of the hospital and other teams are important reasons for our good long-term success. If you have someone who wants to donate a kidney to you, then all you need to do is contact us, even if the blood groups are not compatible, we can offer you a paired donation or an incompatible transplant, and if everything is in order, then you can have a safe transplant journey with our team.
