The information provided in this article is for informational purposes only, is not a guide to action and should not be construed as medical advice or treatment recommendations by bookimed.com. All decisions about the choice of treatment methods and medical care should be made only by a specialized doctor after studying the patient’s medical case.

Every year, more than 100,000 solid organs are transplanted in the world. Nearly 70,000 of them are kidneys. However, the waiting list continues to grow rapidly. Every 10 minutes a new person is added to the list. Most people who are looking for the renal transplant are on dialysis and transplantation is hardly the only way to improve their quality of life and return to everyday activity.

This guide has been written for people who have identified a kidney transplant as their goal and are looking for ways to achieve it.

  • Kidney transplant surgery cost in India
  • Price of the renal replacement in Turkey
  • FAQs


Bookimed is not engaged in buying and selling of the organs and does not respond to requests on organ donation!

If you need to undergo the kidney transplant, you must have a donor.



This material has information purposes only and aims to tell about the most cost-effective skilled inpatient care. It isn't a call to action. The choice is yours.

All prices, saving rates, and other cost information given below have 3 independent sources:

  1. hospital representatives, who are responsible for price relevance and other info on the clinic
  2. the Bookimed medical team, which calculates saving rates according to data submitted by the rated medical facilities to make comparison and decision more comfortable
  3. official websites of authoritative organizations that provide cost peculiarities, facts, and figures.

Prices are approximate and may change according to the clinic's internal price policy and exchange rates. Note that the final cost is estimated by treating physician.




Does a kidney transplant worth you?

Before saying yes to the renal transplant, you should take into account some things:

  • the pros and cons of a transplant
  • financial coverage of the surgery and medications you have to take for the rest of your life
  • your ability to continue follow-up care and follow doctors' recommendations.

The final decision about kidney transplantation is yours. You will need to ask questions at your evaluation to be sure about your final choice. Learn as much as you can about all options of kidney replacement therapy or ask any questions to our medical coordinator.




Reasonable kidney transplant cost over the world — comparative characteristics

Despite the high demand for an organ transplant, this procedure is not available everywhere because of exorbitant prices. The United States is in the world's top in the number of renal replacements — 17,107 surgeries annually. However, the cost of a kidney transplant in the US is quite high and reaches $400,000. A lot of Americans have insurance that covers transplantation and medication. But what should people without insurance do?

In recent years, Asian countries have been gaining global leadership in organ transplantation. India and Turkey are the leading states for the kidney transplant not only in Asia but in the world as well. Patients from the USA and UK are engaged with cut-price and excellent quality services.

According to WHO, 91 countries worldwide carry out organ transplants. However, renal replacement is hard for foreign patients to get in most of the states. In Asian nations like India or Turkey, the kidney transplant is available and legal for everyone, including the inbound patients.





Cut-priced kidney transplant in India

About 500,000 international patients choose India for medical care annually. Most of them are from Bangladesh, Afghanistan, Maldives, Kuwait, Iraq, the United Kingdom, the USA, Germany, and France. The country is among Top 10 medical tourism destinations in the world.

India is the second country globally due to the number of transplantations after the USA. Over 6,000 kidney replacements are performed in the country every year. 90% of them are carried out from a living donor.

Economical services are the primary reason why people travel to India for treatments. The country is the first one worldwide because of the lowest expenses for organ replacements.

The economic benefit can reach up to 95% without insurance. For example,

  • the kidney transplant cost in India is about 95% lower than in the United States ($13,000 in India and app. $400,000 in the USA)
  • the surgery is 75% cheaper than in the United Kingdom ($13,000 in India and $55,000 or £42,000)
  • people's expenses for kidney transplantation in India are approximately 85% lower than in Germany and Israel (famous countries for medical care around the world). $13,000 versus $80,000 and $100,000 per transplant correspondingly.

When people decide on the renal transplant, they should be ready to take drugs after the operation their whole life. The medication cost varies in different countries according to the price policy of each particular state. However, India provides generics, 100% low-priced analogs of expensive brand-name drugs. These branded drug replications help cut down expenses for the treatment by at least 70%.

India is also popular with medical tourists because of doctors' vast experience and almost zero waiting lists. Indian transplant surgeons 20,000 organ replacements. 90-95% of them are successful.

The patient was treated of ventricular septal defect

The problem was with the translation, they weren’t completely translating, they weren’t there, they had to catch translators even receiving doctors after 11:00 in the morning, until eleven Only in the clinic I had to wait after an hour, I had to be examined after lunch, and after lunch the doctors left for surgery or a detour for three days I couldn’t get to the ENT doctor; the tests are long, the tests take a long time, in general, we had two weeks to go through the examination of the gastroenterologist, and the ENT wanted to go back to us tomorrow to undergo the examination again, but alas l hope my heart will not fail but summed over the 40 years. The doctor said to her daughter the first day after the examination that there is no need for surgery, a very small defect from the operation will be more harm, it is better not to touch it until 10-12 years old. The girl herself is healthy in all respects, only this defect of the interventricular septum is there we will observe if we get worse. Thanks good luck everyone. Проблема была с переводом не полностью переводят рядом не находятся приходилось ловить переводчиков ещё приём врачей после 11:00 утра, до одиннадцати Тольку нет в клинике приходится ждать после часа должен успеть пройти обследование после начинается обед и после обеда врачи уходят на операции или обход три дня не мог попасть к ЛОР врачу большие очереди анализы делают долго, вообщем у нас было две недели за это время успел пройти обследование гастроэнтеролога, и ЛОР завтра нам обратно лететь хотел ещё пройти обследование сердце но увы не успел надеюсь сердце мое не подведёт как не подвело за 40-лет. Дочке первый день после обследование врач сказал что нет необходимости операции очень маленький дефект от операции будет больше вреда, лучше не трогать наблюдать до 10-12 лет. Девочка сама здорова по всем параметрам только вот этот дефект межжелудочковый перегородки есть будем наблюдать если будет ухудшение приедем. Спасибо удачи всем.

I want to thank Dr.Murtada, because he’s the one who arrange it with the hospital. he was with us the whole way asking if we need anything, if everything is OK and I keep asking him a question too but he doesn’t get tired he googled and answer or he calls them straight to figure out the situation. At first me doing it by myself make me tired of emailing all of the hospital in India but after I contact Bookimed he finish everything that it takes me three weeks to due in 2days.The hospital was good to us, they arrange driver named Manpreet Singh that can speak English and take us everywhere we ask am and help us travel popular places, he is the best. I want to thank Karan Kumar for being with us until the end he is the one who take care of everything in the hospital for us and outside of the hospital too. The nurse are nice and the food is very good and my mom surgery went very good by Dr. Anoop k Ganjoo, he is really good doctor. I will recommend you changing your dollar to rupees before going to India.

good doctors and the attitude of the medical staff. terrible organization and pumping out money! the trip was in vain, because neither the manager who sent us for treatment, nor in the clinic itself, had taken care of the necessary documents in advance. хорошие врачи и отношение мед.персонала. ужасная организация и выкачивание денег! поездка получилась зря, из-за того что ни менеджер, который отправлял нас на лечение, ни в самой клинике, не позаботились заранее о нужных документах.

The equipment is good, modern. Doctors and attendants are attentive and highly qualified. I passed a survey course and a number of specialist consultations. At the time when I was there, I was advised not to rush into the operation, as the state of health is at the stage of improvement. If they were interested in pumping money from me, then they would recommend urgently to do it, which indicates their objectivity. The only problem with finding there was an unusual food for me. But this is someone who, like someone who loves spicy, peppery and a lot of seasonings. Оборудование хорошое, современное. Врачи и обслуживающий персонал внимательны и высококвалифицированые. Прошёл курс обследования и ряд консультаций специалистов. На тот момент когда я там находился мне посоветовали не спешить с операцией, так как состояние здоровья на стадии улучшения. Если бы они были бы заинтересованы в выкачивании денег у меня, то рекомендовали бы срочно ее делать, что говорит об их объективности. Единственной проблемой нахождения там было непривычное для меня питание. Но это уже кому как, кто то любит острое, перченое и множество приправ.

The patient was treated of bladder cancer

The clinic, in the category "like - do not like", I can not evaluate. Meeting at the airport with an interpreter and transfer to the clinic - standard. Accommodation in the guest house, before the operation, leaves much to be desired. But, who is familiar with India, I do not think for special comfort and does not count, otherwise - to Germany. Immediately the next morning, without delay and delay, a primary appointment with doctors and diagnosis. Prices for a visit from doctors, examinations and tests are very reasonable, commensurate with Moscow or, even lower. Communication with doctors through an interpreter is somewhat difficult, but quite informative and understandable. Knowledge of English will remove all embarrassment, but in general - not critical. The attitude of doctors to the examination and refinement of the diagnosis is "meticulous". After five days - a summary and proposal for a treatment program. Hospitalization, surgery, 3 days in the intensive care unit and postoperative placement in a two-bed room (together with an attendant) for 12 days. And an extract. The level of training, skill and attitude of doctors, from my "ambitious" point of view of the accompanying person, is beyond praise !!! About the surgeon who performed the operation - DR. MURUGANANDHAM K, I want to say that he has "golden hands and heart" !!! The attitude of the average medical personnel, despite the language difficulties, is very friendly. In the intensive care unit was invited immediately after the operation and "woke up" the patient with me. Opening his eyes and seeing his native face after anesthesia - a person "comes alive"! Postoperative treatment and care in the ward are very worthy. Having repeated his own experience in hospitalization, I can not even compare. The account is not in our favor. In fact, treatment in the clinic saved life! This is especially evident now, a year after the treatment. A year ago, options were considered: Germany, Israel and India. In terms of price-quality ratio and recall of acquaintances have chosen treatment in India. And they were not mistaken. The clinic was selected by specialists of the site en.bookimed.com. They also provided a correlation and communication with the clinic. Huge thanks to them !!! Клинику, в категории «нравится - не нравится», оценивать не берусь.! Встреча в аэропорту с переводчиком и трансфер в клинику - стандартный. Размещение в гостевом доме, перед операцией, оставляет желать лучшего. Но, кто знаком с Индией, на особый комфорт думаю и не расчитывает, иначе - в Германию. Сразу же на следующее утро, без проволочек и волокиты первичный приём у врачей и диагностика. Цены за приём у врачей, обследования и анализы очень разумные, соразмерны с московскими или, даже ниже. Общение с докторами через переводчика, несколько затруднено, но вполне информативно и понятно. Знание английского снимет все неловкости, но в целом - не критично. Отношение врачей к обследованию и уточнению диагноза «дотошное». Через пять дней - резюме и предложение программы лечения. Госпитализация, операция, 3 дня в реанимационном отделении и послеоперационное размещение в двух-местной палате (вместе с сопровождающим) в течение 12 дней. И выписка. Уровень подготовки, мастерство и отношение врачей, с моей «делетантской» точки зрения сопровождающего, выше всяких похвал!!! О хирурге проводившем операцию - DR. MURUGANANDHAM K, хочется сказать, что у него «золотые руки и сердце»!!! Отношение среднего медицинского персонала, несмотря на языковые трудности, очень доброжелательное. В реанимацию пригласили сразу же после операции и «будили» больного при мне. Открыв глаза и увидев родное лицо после наркоза - человек «оживает»! Послеоперационное лечение и уход в палате очень достойные. Имея неоднократный собственный опыт госпитализации, не берусь даже сравнивать. Счёт не в нашу пользу. Фактически, лечение в клинике спасло жизнь!!! Это особенно видно сейчас, спустя год после лечения. Год назад рассматривались варианты: Германия, Израиль и Индия. По соотношению цена-качество и отзыву знакомых выбрали лечение в Индии. И не ошиблись. Клинику подобрали специалисты сайта ru.bookimed.com. Они же обеспечили соотношение и связь с клиникой. Огромное им спасибо!!!

Cost-effective kidney transplant surgery in Turkey

1.1 mln health tourists visit Turkey each year. Citizens of the Middle Eastern countries, the UK, Germany, Ukraine, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, and Libya, prefer to get treatments in Turkey. The organ transplantation is one of the dominant specialties in the country due to the high-quality services, doctors' excellent qualification, reasonable prices, and short waiting lists.

Over 3,000 kidney transplants are performed in Turkey annually, according to the Turkey Transplant Foundation's report. 75% of the surgeries are conducted from a living donor. In 80% of cases, the human body accepts the implanted kidney.

Turkey is the best destination for kidney transplantation regarding the quality-to-price ratio. It is the second most popular country with international patients due to renal budget replacements.


  • the kidney transplant in Turkey is up to 95% cheaper than in the United States ($15,000 in Turkey vs. $400,000 in the US)
  • 70% more competitive than in the United Kingdom ($15,000 in Turkey and about $55,000 in the UK)
  • the cost of the renal transplant in Turkey is 80% lower than in Germany ($15,000 vs $80,000) and 85% lower than in Israel ($15,000 compared to $100,000). At the same time, the treatment quality in these countries is on the same level.

Turkish doctors undergo training in the best universities of Europe and the USA and apply the latest technology to achieve high results. They cooperate with their international colleagues to interchange their experience and make the surgery more effective.

Turkey is among 10 best countries for medical tourism in the world due to the excellent services provided by the local medical facilities. 50 Turkish hospitals have JCI (Joint Commission International) accreditation — the highest index among other health tourism states (in comparison, Israel has only 20 JCI-accredited centers and Germany — only 10).

The patient was treated of epilepsy

In general, the clinic as a clinic, a lot of people, everyone is busy. Queues The translator decided the speed of the queue. Everything is fine. They took only consultations with doctors. I can not say on it their level of professionolism, only on treatment ... In general, it’s normal. В целом клиника как клиника, много людей, все заняты. Очереди. Переводчик решал быстроту очереди. Все нормально. Брали только консультации у врачей. Не могу сказать по ней их уровень профессиолизма, только по лечению... В целом нормально.

The level of the clinic is high, qualified doctors. For the second time they were vaccinated both for themselves and the child. Cons: - the indicated coordinator in Istanbul did not answer calls on the day of arrival, nor when we arrived at the clinic, did not call back, I had to explain at the reception (they speak English very weakly at the reception), - the transfer service from the clinic is not very comfortable , the drivers do not speak English, there is no child car seat, the cars are dirty, you have to wait a long time. Уровень клиники высокий, врачи квалифицированные. Уже второй раз делали прививки и себе, и ребёнку. Минусы: - указанный координатор в Стамбуле не отвечал на звонки ни в день прилета, ни когда мы прибыли в клинику, так и не перезвонил, пришлось на ресепшине объясняться (на англ на ресепшине говорят очень слабо), - услуга трансфертов от клиники не очень комфортна, водители не говорят на англ, детского автокресла нет, машины грязные, приходится ждать долго.

The medical team overall was excellent! My surgeon, Dr. Umut Zereyak is awesome and indeed a nice person as well. He is very proficient with his craft and he was always making sure that I understood the plan. He truly cares for me as a patient and that’s what I definitely appreciate. During the days for which I was admitted, the nurses and other staff were so helpful and patient enough to care and to assist with my needs. Language barrier could be a challenge but all of them tried their best to communicate well. Also, the medical coordinators assisted me to the best of their ability. They are knowledgeable, very efficient and communicated really well. I have no regrets at all that this was the medical team that I chose. Highly recommended.

Ayday Nov 8, 2019

I’ll start from the very arrival in Istanbul: firstly, the meeting person was 40 minutes late when the airport drove us back, the driver was almost late for an hour, we barely managed to get on the plane, of course there’s a big minus, but the transfer from the hotel to the clinic and back within 3 days was provided on time, which is very good. The recommendations for the clinic are as follows: it is necessary to organize an unhindered and quick examination process. For example, we examined the whole family of 2 adults, 2 children, signed up in advance, but we spent 3 days instead of the planned 1 day and this is only a gastrointestinal examination. We give one analysis / examination, then we wait until the turn comes to another office, and so for 3 whole days. If the clinic claims to be international, then it is clear that patients will be from different parts of the world, and every day of their stay this time and money, so they need to make the process continuous for the patient. They should be “sharpened” at the reception of foreigners quickly and efficiently, this should be a separate direction in the clinic, and not between affairs. For example, I had experience in a clinic in South Korea, they sent everything to me at the hotel in advance: a questionnaire, instructions, etc. Upon arrival at the clinic, I went through all the rooms within a few hours, and then after waiting a little I got the results in Russian, which is the basis for questions to the doctor who advises you. In Medicana, some of the tests that were received at the time of the consultation with the doctor were only in Turkish, in this case, what questions can I have for the doctor? what to discuss with him? If the clinic really claims to be international, English should be a priori. I asked for them in English, but they said it would also take time. Most of the results said will be in a week, then they will translate into English. Now the problems are for me, when they will give me the results and appointments, get them in Bishkek and how then to buy medicines in Istanbul and bring them to Bishkek. For 3 days, I left almost $ 4,500 for examinations in the clinic and I believe that the quality of the services and the service do not correspond to the price. Начну с самого приезда в Стамбул: во-первых встречающий человек опоздал в аэропорт на 40 минут, когда обратно везли нас аэропорт, почти на час опоздал водитель мы еле успели на самолет, здесь конечно им большой минус, но транфер из гостиницы до клиники и обратно в течение 3-х дней предоставлялся вовремя, что есть очень хорошо. К клинике рекомендации следующие: необходимо организовать беспрепятственный и быстрый процесс обследований. Мы например обследовались всей семьей 2 взрослых, 2 детей, записались заранее, но мы потратили 3 дня вместо запланированного 1 дня и это только обследование ЖКТ. Сдаем один анализ/обследование, затем ждем пока подойдет очередь в другой кабинет и так целых 3 дня. Если клиника претендует на статус международной, то понятно, что пациенты будут с разных частей света и каждый день пребывания это время и деньги, поэтому им надо сделать процесс беспрерывным для пациента. Они должны быть "заточены" на прием иностранцев быстро и качественно, это должно быть отдельное направление в клинике, а не между делами. Например у меня был опыт в клинике Южной Кореи, они заранее все выслали мне в гостиницу: анкету, препараты инструкции и т.д. По приезду в клинику я прошла все кабинеты в течении нескольких часов, а затем подождав немного получила результаты на русском языке, что является основанием для вопросов к доктору, который тебя консультирует. В Медикана некоторые анализы, которые были получены на момент консультации с врачем были только на турецком, в этом случае, какие у меня могут быть вопросы к врачу? что с ним обсуждать? Если клиника действительно претендует на статус международной, английский язык должен быть априори. Я их просила предоставить на английском, но они сказали это тоже займет время. Большинство результатов сказали будут через неделю, затем они переведут на анг. Теперь проблемы для меня, когда они выдадут мне результаты и назначения, получить их в Бишкеке и как затем закупить лекарства в Стамбуле и привезти их в Бишкек. За 3 дня я оставила в клинике почти $4500 на обследования и я считаю, что качество услуг и сервис не соответствуют цене.

Next step after you've decided you need the kidney transplant

Looking for the kidney transplant, international patients mostly are interested in 3 questions:


  • how to avoid long waiting lists?
  • where are the best and affordable places for the surgery?
  • how much is a kidney transplant?

We're answering these questions slightly below.


What do people pay for? Pros and cons

Most people with kidney failure are on dialysis. However, dialysis can only do part of a job our healthy kidneys do healthy kidneys do for your body, so people choose the renal transplant as the best option for their life quality improvement. Thus, your kidneys will never work as the kidneys of the healthy person even after the transplant, the procedure has its advantages over dialysis:

  • people after the kidney transplant live longer than people on dialysis
  • the replacement helps to avoid complications as bone and heart diseases
  • the renal transplant makes patients more energetic and gives less food limits
  • your health can be almost as good as in people with the healthy kidneys if you follow doctor's recommendations
  • new kidneys give you an opportunity to travel, work and take greater pleasure in life.

Despite all the advantages of the kidney replacement, it is still a surgery. Complications after the renal transplantation can be the same as after any other serious intervention — infection, bleeding, other organs damage.


Also, the three connections between your new kidney and body – the artery, vein, and ureter (a tube that carries urine from the kidney to the bladder), might leak or become blocked. The risk of complications does not mean that they will happen with you, it means they only can.

How do transplantologists perform the surgery step-by-step?

Kidney transplant is a surgery of placing a healthy kidney instead of that one no longer functions properly.

Kidney transplant surgery prolongs patient’s life and improves its quality.

Kidney transplant step-by-step

  • In European and Israeli hospitals the kidney transplant is possible to conduct only from a close relative (i.e. a parent, child, sibling, etc.). The kidney transplant surgery cost is up to 50% higher than in Asian medical facilities.
  • Indian and Turkish clinics perform transplant from patient's relative donor or his/her spouse. However, a spouse can be a donor only if such a procedure is not forbidden by the law of their native country. The success rate of the surgeries is on the same level in both countries.
  • In Turkey the kidney transplant cost is 3-4 times lower than in Israeli or German clinics. In India the price for the procedure is 5-6 times lower than in Europe and 2 times cheaper then in Turkey. German and Israeli hospitals offer approximately the same kidney transplant price.

The kidney transplant surgery takes 3 hours. In some cases — up to 5 hours. It is the only option for people with kidney failure to live healthier life without dialysis.


You’ll have to take medications for a whole life after the kidney transplant to avoid rejection. Living-donor kidney transplant is the only available type for international patients.



Important to know!

  • A patient should be admitted to the hospital 7 days before the procedure to undergo a preoperative preparation.
  • A patient is allowed flying in 50 days after the discharge in case there are no complications.
  • A donor may flight in 7 days after the procedure.
  • The blood of a recipient should to be the same type with a donor.

How to get around the long waiting lists?

A kidney transplant procedure requires a suitable donor to successful organ acceptance. In almost all countries, only a close relative can become a compatible donor (family members — parents, brothers, sisters, grandparents, spouse).

Kidney donation




Unfortunately, relatives can be the donors not in all cases. It happens that close relatives do not match for the kidney transplant. What to do? — Paired-organ donation.


Anna and Helen are sisters. Anna has serious kidney matters, she needs an organ transplantation and Helen agrees to become a donor. During the tests, doctors turned out that kidney replacement in this case is impossible — sisters are incompatible.


Brothers John and Jack have the same issue. The results of the analysis showed that these families can exchange donors — Jack can be a donor for Anna, and Helen for John — an equal deal. Thus, a kidney transplant was performed for both and patients did not have to wait in a long queue.

Kidney donation




However, there are situations when two pairs are not enough for exchange. In some cases, more than two pairs are connected by the indirect donor and form a donation chain with several recipients benefitting from the non-directed donor kidney. This method helps to avoid long waiting lists and get a kidney transplant, but is not available in all countries. Turkey provides this method very often.

Kidney donation

How much is a kidney transplant over the world?

India Turkey Germany Israel
from $13,000 from $15,000 from $80,000 from $100,000

*All the kidney transplant prices given in the table above are approximate. The costs mainly depend on the currencies of the countries and may change.


If you want to undergo the procedure in Germany, be ready to pay for it in Euro. In this case, the kidney transplant price in Germany is €75,000-90,000.

What does kidney transplant cost depend on?

  1. Survival rates after the procedure and transplants results

Hospitals with a great experience of performing successful kidney transplants usually boost the prices for their services. Vast experience of doctors gives a possibility to achieve successful results and reduce the risk of complications after the surgery. Because of this reason the kidney transplant cost in such facilities will be higher.




  1. Urgency of the kidney transplant procedure

The organ is very hard to get. People have to wait for the kidney during the few years. The number of patients increases and forms long waiting lists. So, if a person needs the kidney transplant as soon as possible, s/he has to pay for the emergency.


But if you already have a donor, you may schedule the date of the procedure and undergo it immediately.




  1. General condition of patient’s health

Some patients with acute renal failure have to stay in the intensive care unit (ICU). It is a special department in a hospital that provides the critical care and life support for patients in the poor health condition.


According to the health condition, a patient stays in the intensive care unit during the different number of days. Stay in the ICU mostly affects the kidney transplant cost.




  1. Medical facility’s location

The kidney transplant cost varies in different countries. The price for the procedure is higher in European and the Middle East countries in comparison with Asian ones. For example, in India the kidney transplant price is 5-6 times lower than in Germany or Israel, but only 2-3 times cheaper than in Turkey.


The kidney replacement cost may also vary from city to city. This trend is common for India. The cities in the country are at the different levels of development, because of their size, location (near or far the ocean), and their attendance (price policy in the seaside town higher due to great number of tourists)




  1. Duration of your stay in the country

After the kidney transplant, you have to stay in the country for postoperative follow-ups. This period is very important for each patient.


During the postoperative exams, doctors supervise the health condition of a patient and make all possible to avoid the kidney rejection.


According to the health condition, each patient stays in the country for different number of days. During this period, a patient lives in a hotel or rental apartments and pay for accommodation out of their pocket. It may significantly increase the general kidney transplant cost.


What criteria has Bookimed team chosen when looking for the most affordable kidney transplant cost worldwide?

International patients mostly are interested in 2 questions: how much is a kidney transplant and where is the best place for value of their money without quality loss?


Bookimed medical coordinators have chosen world’s top countries with the best quality and price of kidney transplant taking into account:

  • success rates of the surgery
  • affordable pricing without quality loss
  • surgeons’ experience
  • patients’ reviews.

What does the kidney transplant cost include?

Basic kidney transplant price includes: Additional kidney transplant expenses are:*
  • Doctors fees (surgeon, assistant surgeon (if needed), anesthesiologist)
  • Operating room charges
  • nursing service charges
  • In-hospital stay for 7-21 days for a patient
  • In-hospital stay for 7-21 days for a donor
  • Procedure-related laboratory tests and medications
  • Medical equipment and supplies necessary for the procedure
  • 15-20 days of an outpatient medical follow-up after the discharge for a patient.
  • Non procedure-related medications and treatment
  • Personal expenses such as phone calls, room services etc.
  • Taking home medications and supplies
  • Hospitalization in case of complications

* The total bill for the procedure does not include anti-rejection or other drugs, the hospitalization in case of complications. You should pay for these services additionally.


After the kidney transplant, a patient should stay in the country to undergo postoperative follow ups. Bookimed Care Department can help you to find the most cost-effective hotel stay near the hospital.

Does the price of renal replacement contain any extra services?

Yes, some hospitals (especially, Turkish and Indian) offer kidney transplant packages that usually includes also:

  • transfer from/to an airport
  • in-hospital stay (usually for a patient and 1 accompanying person)
  • meals.

Some hospitals offer pre-operative tests and follow-ups contained into the kidney transplant price.

What is the cost of kidney transplant with insurance?

Health insurances cover the part or complete kidney transplant cost. Out-of-pocket prices may include preliminary testing, surgery, post-operative exams.

Depending on the country, the insurance covers 10-50% of the total bill or the private kidney transplant cost completely. Usually, the insurance does not cover medications.

Check this and other additional information with your insurance agent to make clear things you have to expect.

What does the kidney transplant cost not cover?

The diagnostic tests before the procedure are necessary to undergo for a recipient. However, the kidney transplant price does not include expenses for examinations and you pay for it additionally.

The charge for diagnosis before the kidney transplant varies in different medical facilities. You can have diagnostics in your hometown and come across with the test results in the chosen hospital.

Doctors give permission for the kidney transplant only after a complete examination of your donor. It takes 2-3 weeks. The first two weeks a donor undergoes the examination, and during the third week specialists prepare the results of laboratory studies. The diagnostic tests of your donor are not included into the general kidney transplant cost and are paid separately as well.

What else should you take into account?

Must have!

Official documents which indicate the relationship degree between a patient and donor have to be represented before the kidney transplant procedure. Bookimed medical coordinator will provide you with additional information on the documents (if needed). It does not affect the kidney transplant cost. Bookimed services are free for patients.


Bookimed is not engaged in buying and selling of the organs and does not respond to requests on organ donation!

Which countries besides India and Turkey accepts international patients for renal transplantation?

Germany

The kidney is No.1 organ for transplantation in Germany — 25% of all transplant surgeries are the renal replacements according to statista.com, the leading portal giving access to healthcare statistics worldwide.


According to the German Organ Transplantation Foundation (Deutsche Stiftung Organtransplantation — DSO), surgeons perform over 2,000 kidney transplants annually. Most patients, undergoing the procedure in Germany, are from other countries.


International patients choose Germany due to high-quality and safety of medical services. German medical centers have the best statistics in the world according to the British Medical Journal version: 98% of kidney transplants in Germany are successful (only 2% have post-operative complications).



Israel

Over 280 living-donor kidney transplants and more than 200 cadaver-donor kidney transplants are performed in Israeli hospitals every year according to the National Organ Transplant Center.


The survival rate after the kidney transplantation in Israel is 84-91%. The main factor determining such positive statistics is a competent examination of a future recipient’s body functions.
