Her daughter has consented to donate one of her kidneys to save her life. The recommended Therapy is Haemodialysis treatment, donor workup, tissue typing and kidney transplant which will cost approximately Rs. 400,000/- and, after the surgery, she will need approximately Rs. 30,000/- per month for about one year followed by approximately Rs. 2,000/- per month for the rest of her life for follow-up drugs.
