1 in 10 adult is suffering from Chronic Kidney Disease in India. As per the Indian Council of Medical Research data, diabetes and high blood pressure along accounts for 40 to 60% of chronic kidney disease. With the increase in people needing kidney transplant the need for compatible donor has gone up. There are lot of people with kidney failure awaiting a donor, to help people by cutting down the time involved in awaiting compatible donor. Chandigarh Kidney Foundation has come up with an app called 'iKIDNEY' (incompatible Kidney) which will bring people looking for compatible donor under one roof. For a patient, who requires kidney transplant a donor is required, and if there is already a donor in the family who is willing to donate but unable to do so due to tissue or blood group mismatch or antibodies can look for someone who is facing the same problem. Donors of two different family can swap their kidney which is called "swap kidney Transplant". iKIDNEY app will help bridge the gap between people by bringing them under the same roof. People will be able to register themselves on it and find them a suitable donor, "All for free". As per the human organ transplant act of India, kidney donor should be legitimate.
App can be used in 3 simple steps – 1. Download iKidney app from Google play or Apple store. 2. Register free and our counselling team will take it up from there. 3. Get the much delayed transplant done post suitable donor-recipient pairs are finalized.
