Kidney and Liver Transplant Abroad

For international patients, the main organ transplant programs abroad are living donor kidney and liver transplantation.

01

Kidney Transplant

A kidney transplant is performed for irreversible kidney failure. The recipient receives one kidney from a living donor. Both donor and recipient undergo medical testing and compatibility assessment before surgery.

02

Liver Transplant

A liver transplant may be considered for severe liver disease when other treatment options are no longer sufficient. In living donor transplantation, part of the donor’s liver is transplanted to the recipient.

Who Can Be a Living Donor?

International transplant programs commonly require the patient to have a potential living donor. This is often a close relative, although rules for spouses and other relatives vary by country. Willingness to donate is not enough. Before transplantation, the hospital must confirm the donor’s medical suitability, compatibility and compliance with local legal requirements.

Where Can You Have an Organ Transplant Abroad?

Turkey, India and South Korea are among the destinations considered by international patients for living donor transplantation. The choice depends on the diagnosis, budget, donor requirements and transplant center.

Turkey

University and private hospitals with established kidney and liver transplant programs and convenient travel links for patients from Europe and nearby regions.

India

One of the more affordable options for treatment. Major hospitals offer living donor kidney and liver transplant programs for eligible international patients.

South Korea

Large university medical centers with established transplant surgery programs. Treatment costs are generally higher than in Turkey and India.
