[|AI|]  HelloThanks for query. Following procedure is followed for Kidney transplant in India.1) Normally we prefer related donor like brother mother, son wife etc. having same blood group of recipient(Patient).2) Written consent from the donor in front of legal expert (Magistrate) on stamp paper is mandatory.3) In case no related matching related donor is available a friend, distant relative can be accepted as a donor. It should be voluntary There should not be any money transaction involved .4) Once the donor is confirmed to be matching all the necessary tests like blood test, Renal angiography are done for recipient and donor for technical aspects of surgery of transplant.5) Once all the formalities are completed which normally takes 2-3 weeks The surgery is carried out by minimal invasive technique The cost involved ranges from 4-5 lakhs of Indian Rupees.(This is variable).
