For patients without a compatible living donor, a cadaveric transplant provides a vital pathway to life without dialysis. Discover how to navigate the national waitlist, the allocation protocols, and how our rapid-response surgical team prepares you for "The Call."
Consult for Waitlist Registry
A cadaveric (or deceased donor) kidney transplant occurs when a healthy kidney is recovered from an individual who has been declared brain-dead, and whose family has generously consented to organ donation.
Because the timing of deceased organ availability is entirely unpredictable, this pathway requires patients to be registered on a centralized waitlist and remain in a state of continuous medical readiness.
In India, deceased organ allocation is strictly regulated to ensure fairness and transparency. Dr. Kataria and his administrative team will guide you through the registration process with the State Organ and Tissue Transplant Organization (SOTTO) and NOTTO.
When a compatible kidney becomes available, time is of the essence. You will receive an immediate call from our transplant coordinator, regardless of the time of day or night.
Upon arrival at Shalby Multi-Specialty Hospital, our rapid-response team conducts an immediate final cross-match test. Once cleared, Dr. Kataria—leveraging his high-volume experience from IKDRC Ahmedabad—executes the complex transplant surgery. Our dedicated Transplant ICU ensures your new kidney begins functioning optimally in a highly monitored, sterile environment.
Getting on the deceased donor waitlist is a crucial step for your future. Schedule a consultation to understand the registration requirements and begin your medical profiling.
