Kidney Transplant and Dialysis Access
Kidney Transplant and Dialysis Access
Kidney failure is a serious condition that affects the body’s ability to filter waste, leading to the need for advanced treatment options such as dialysis or kidney transplantation. With over 13 years of experience in the field of urology, Dr. Marneni Steve Richards offers expert care in both kidney transplant procedures and dialysis access creation, helping patients restore their quality of life and long-term kidney function.
A kidney transplant is considered the most effective treatment for end-stage renal disease (ESRD). It involves replacing a failed kidney with a healthy donor kidney. Dr. Richards provides end-to-end support in the transplant journey—right from pre-transplant evaluation and donor selection to the surgical procedure and post-operative care. His expertise in complex urological surgeries ensures a high success rate with minimal complications.
For patients who are not yet eligible for transplantation or are awaiting a donor, dialysis becomes a necessary step in managing kidney failure. In such cases, a functional and durable AV (arteriovenous) fistula is crucial for effective dialysis treatment. Dr. Richards is highly skilled in creating AV fistulas and grafts, which allow for safe, long-term access to the bloodstream. These procedures are typically minor surgeries but play a vital role in ensuring efficient dialysis.
Using advanced techniques, Dr. Richards ensures that dialysis access is created with precision, reducing the risk of infection, clotting, or early failure. He also manages complications related to dialysis access, including blockage, infection, or poor blood flow.
Dr. Richards works closely with nephrologists, transplant teams, and dialysis centers to deliver integrated and personalized care. Each patient receives a thorough evaluation, including kidney function tests, imaging, and cardiovascular assessments, to determine the most suitable treatment path.
At Srikara Hospitals, Miyapur, patients benefit from state-of-the-art operation theatres, intensive care units, and a team of skilled professionals dedicated to transplant and dialysis care. Dr. Marneni Steve Richards is committed to offering safe, ethical, and evidence-based solutions to patients with kidney failure.
