According to recent data from Apollo Bangalore, men are three times more likely to receive kidney transplants compared to women. The Apollo Healthcare data analysis reveals significant disparities in kidney transplant rates between males and females.
The study found that 43.2% of all kidney transplants were performed on male recipients, while 14.5% were for female recipients. This disparity is attributed to various factors, including the higher incidence of chronic kidney disease (CKD) and faster progression of kidney damage in men.
Researchers also discovered that men are more likely to suffer from hypertension, a significant risk factor for CKD. Moreover, men are more likely to experience kidney damage caused by factors such as diabetes, obstructive sleep apnea, and certain medications.
The Apollo Bangalore data analysis also showed that the frequency of kidney transplants in both men and women varied significantly with age. The majority of kidney transplants (45.1%) were performed on individuals between the ages of 45 and 64 years. In contrast, only 24.5% of transplants were performed on individuals under the age of 45.
In terms of the hashtags, it seems like the profile of the recipient of kidney transplants is changing dramatically: #Apollobangalore #Kidney transplantation #Transplantrates #TRENDS
