Chronic or end-stage lung diseases, including COPD, pulmonary fibrosis, pulmonary hypertension, etc., make breathing difficult, & other associated symptoms such as chest pain worsen over time despite medical therapies, emphasizing the need for a lung transplant.

The individuals with critical lung disease with good overall health (No other serious illness such as heart, liver, or kidney damage, along with psychological stability, and no history of smoking) are considered ideal candidates for transplantation since medical therapies have not been effective.

If someone close to you is experiencing serious lung problems and their symptoms, like difficulty breathing, do not improve over time despite the ongoing medical therapy and lead to frequent hospitalization for oxygen therapy, it is important to understand that they may require a lung transplant.

Certain tests, including blood tests, imaging tests (CT, chest X-ray), lung function tests, echocardiogram, and EKG, are performed before a lung transplant to evaluate the lung function, the severity of lung damage, and any existing heart conditions, along with organ matching with the donor lung.

The success rates, though, depend on various factors such as the overall health of an individual, underlying conditions, and timely postoperative care. Lung transplant surgery rates are quite high, ranging from 95-98%.

Our lung transplant surgeons in Hyderabad are highly experienced with great expertise in performing complex lung transplant surgeries successfully.

Although the waiting time for a lung transplant depends on various factors, including the type of blood, availability of the donor organ, etc., the duration might range from 3 to 12 months.

The donor lung is matched based on the compatibility testing (blood type), lung size, and several other medical factors.

Although the cost of a lung transplant depends on several factors, including the type of lung transplant (single/double), overall health of the patient, etc., the average cost might range from Rs 1,550,000 to Rs 3,000,000.
