How long do you stay in hospital after liver transplant?

Dear K Somasekhar ji,

Thank you for reaching out regarding kidney transplant. A kidney transplant is a major surgery done to replace a non-functioning kidney with a healthy donor kidney—often considered when dialysis is no longer effective or sustainable.

If you are exploring transplant options:

• HexaHealth can assist with hospital selection, consultation booking, insurance or scheme eligibility checks, and complete transplant care coordination.

We'll guide you step-by-step based on your preference.

Dear Rahat Shaikh ji,

Agar aapke papa dialysis par hain aur unke paas Ayushman Bharat (PM-JAY) card hai to aapko MP ki card Kalyan (Maharashtra) mein use karne ke liye "portability" option check karna hoga. PM-JAY allow karta hai cross-state treatment, lekin kuch processes follow karne zaruri hain.

Ayushman Card Use in Another State

• PM-JAY beneficiaries can avail cashless treatment across India (portability)

• Dialysis is included under Chronic Kidney Disease care, aur covered hai

• Local empanelled hospital mein portability request submit karna hota hai
