Kidney failure after delivery is rare. However, a 23-year-old Uzbekistan woman suffering from rare kidney failure post her delivery was successfully treated.
Paired Donor Exchange Kidney Transplantation
Paired donor exchange kidney transplantation is a process in which unrelated kidney donors are matched to recipients so that compatible transplants can be performed.

‘Globally, about 0.5-0.1% of women suffer from kidney failure post delivery.’
However, her joy was short-lived as both of her kidneys failed due to hypotension (low blood pressure), resulting in tubular necrosis (a kidney disorder involving damage to the tubule cells of the kidneys). The kidney failure also caused damage to a portion of the intestine, putting the patient's life at risk.
In a complicated and rare procedure, doctors at Aakash Healthcare Super Specialty Hospital, Dwarka transplanted her mother's kidney to save her.
About Transplantation
Since the early times, the novel idea of transplanting tissues and other body parts from one organism to the other has captured the imagination of successive generations.

"Kidney failure after delivery is quite uncommon. Only about 0.5-0.1 percent of women globally are affected by this condition. This occurs when oxygen is not delivered to the kidneys due to low blood pressure, causing them to be damaged," said Dr Vikas Agarwal, Director and Head of the Department Urology, Uro-oncology and Kidney Transplant at Aakash.
