Successful transplantation begins with a thorough pre-transplant evaluation of both recipients and potential donors. The transplant programme at Apollo Adlux Hospital follows a multidisciplinary assessment pathway to evaluate overall medical fitness and identify factors that may influence transplant outcomes.

The evaluation may include blood investigations, blood group and compatibility testing, kidney or liver function assessment, cardiovascular evaluation, infection screening, imaging studies, nutritional assessment and specialist consultations. Recipient evaluations help determine the severity of organ failure and suitability for transplantation. Living donor evaluations focus extensively on ensuring that donation is medically appropriate and as safe as possible for the donor. Patients and families also receive counselling regarding the transplant procedure, hospitalisation, medications, lifestyle changes and the importance of regular follow-up.

Post-Transplant Infectious Disease Management

Preventing and managing infection is a critical part of transplant medicine because immunosuppressive medications reduce the body's immune response to protect the transplanted organ from rejection. Apollo Adlux Hospital provides specialised infectious disease support throughout the transplant journey, beginning with pre-transplant screening and continuing during hospitalisation and long-term follow-up.

Before transplantation, patients are evaluated for active or previous infections that may require treatment or additional monitoring. Following transplantation, preventive medications and infection-control strategies may be recommended according to each patient's risk profile. Patients and caregivers are also educated about recognising early signs of infection, maintaining appropriate hygiene, food safety and seeking medical attention promptly when required.
