Mr. Abid underwent a kidney transplant 12 years ago when his kidneys ceased to function. Faced with the choice between dialysis and a kidney transplant, Mr. Abid went for the transplant immediately, avoiding the potential complications of dialysis.
He received a living kidney donor transplant, where a healthy donor—a first-degree relative—can safely donate a kidney if they are a match. Mr. Abid’s donor was his brother, who, 12 years later, shows no signs of ever having been a kidney donor.
Reflecting on his experience, Mr. Abid shared how the transplant transformed his life: “Before the transplantation, the problem I had was so severe; everything came back after the surgery. I am completely normal. Transplantation is not actually something to be afraid of. The doctor told me, 3 days later, I wouldn’t feel like I’m a patient. If a kidney transplant is needed to be done, my suggestion would be to do it as early as possible. I have confidence in the doctors. They are good in every way.”
He also expressed deep gratitude for the care he received: “The service that I got from the hospital, I didn’t feel like I was out of my home. I am thankful to Vejthani Hospital, especially to Dr. Umpaiwan. The way she treated me, I will never forget it. I keep it in my heart.”
