What this page helps you do
Use this guide to assemble a review-ready recipient and potential living-donor file in Bangladesh, obtain a preliminary hospital response, and plan travel without interrupting dialysis or local nephrology care.
- Before hospital review
- Ask the treating nephrologist for a current summary covering the kidney diagnosis, dialysis schedule and access, recent admissions, medicines, infections and cardiovascular history.
- Documents
- Keep recipient and potential-donor files separate. Use the same English spelling of names and dates as the passports, and translate records only when the hospital asks.
- Travel
- Bangladeshi ordinary-passport holders require a visa. Medical treatment is a distinct visa purpose, so confirm the current route through the Turkish mission or its authorized application center before paying for travel.
- Continuity of care
- Do not interrupt dialysis while waiting for an international response. Before travel, agree where dialysis will occur during the journey and which nephrology team will receive follow-up information after return.
- The correct visa route depends on passport and individual circumstances; MedTransplant cannot determine visa eligibility.
- No fixed document-certification, length-of-stay or acceptance requirement is stated because the hospital and authorities decide these case by case.

Kidney Transplant Care in Turkey for Patients from Bangladesh
Patients in Bangladesh who are considering an international transplant-center evaluation can first send a structured case for hospital review in Istanbul. This creates a verified referral pathway without assuming acceptance or eligibility.
Review the Case Before Changing Dialysis or Travel Plans
Pre-travel review can identify incomplete dialysis histories, missing potential-donor information or tests that need clarification. Continue the prescribed dialysis schedule and local nephrology follow-up while the hospital reviews the file; an international inquiry is not a substitute for current care.
Medipol Mega Kidney Transplant Pathway in Istanbul
Medipol Mega’s Organ Transplant Center includes kidney transplantation. MedTransplant can prepare a Bangladesh-origin case and coordinate its submission to the responsible hospital team.
How the Case Review Process Works
Submit the recipient’s clinical overview, potential donor information and available documents. MedTransplant checks organization and completeness, coordinates hospital submission and returns the hospital’s requests or preliminary response.
- Create the MedTransplant case
- Organize recipient and potential donor files
- Receive preliminary hospital feedback
- Plan further testing or travel only after review
Recipient Medical Review
Useful records can include nephrology summaries, dialysis history, recent laboratory results, imaging, cardiovascular evaluation, infection screening, medicines and prior surgery records.
Potential Living Donor Review
A potential living donor is evaluated separately. Medical history, laboratory results, identity and voluntary participation may be considered before the hospital decides whether additional donor testing is appropriate.
Final recipient eligibility, potential donor suitability, ethical approval and treatment decisions are made by the transplant center and relevant authorities. A willing donor does not guarantee transplant eligibility.
Donor Relationship and Supporting Documents
Depending on the transplant center and applicable authorities, patients and potential donors may be asked to provide identity, relationship and medical documentation before the case can proceed. One fixed checklist should not be assumed for every Bangladeshi case.
Preparing Medical and Identity Documents in Bangladesh
Use clear scans, consistent English spellings and dates, and translations where requested. Keep recipient and potential-donor records in separate, labelled groups.
- Current nephrology summary with diagnosis and dialysis prescription
- Recent dialysis sessions, vascular-access history and complications
- Laboratory trends, imaging, cardiac assessment and infection screening available locally
- Recipient and potential-donor passport identity pages
- Potential-donor health information and relationship evidence only when requested
- Certified translations only when the reviewing hospital requires them
What Happens After Preliminary Hospital Review?
The hospital may request more tests, decline to proceed, or outline a next evaluation stage. MedTransplant communicates that response and helps coordinate the requested information; it cannot change a clinical decision.
Visa and Travel Planning from Bangladesh
Türkiye’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs states that Bangladeshi ordinary-passport holders require a visa and lists medical treatment as a separate visa purpose. Confirm the current application route and evidence directly with the Turkish mission or its authorized center; eligibility for an e-Visa for another purpose should not be assumed to cover medical travel.
Wait for a preliminary hospital response before committing to flights or accommodation. If the case progresses, coordinate the recipient’s dialysis schedule, travel fitness, companion needs and potential-donor timing with the responsible clinicians.
Plan Dialysis and Post-Transplant Follow-up in Bangladesh
Before travel, identify the nephrology team that will continue care after return. If transplantation proceeds, that plan should cover immunosuppressive prescriptions, scheduled blood tests, infection precautions, urgent contact routes and transfer of the hospital discharge summary.
Kidney Transplant Costs and Hospital Quotation
Kidney transplant costs are case-specific and may depend on recipient evaluation, potential donor evaluation, compatibility testing, required diagnostics, hospitalization and the treatment plan. A hospital quotation can only follow review of the available case information.
How MedTransplant Coordinates Your Case
MedTransplant provides a single case reference, organizes communication and supports the referral from initial submission through the hospital response and practical planning.

Can I send records before travelling from Bangladesh?
Yes. Patients may submit available medical information for preliminary hospital evaluation before making travel commitments.
What recipient records should I prepare?
Begin with a current medical summary, dialysis history, recent laboratory and imaging results, medication list and relevant prior procedure records. The hospital may request more.
What potential donor information may be reviewed?
The hospital may initially review health history, blood group, available test results, identity and relationship information before deciding on further assessment.
Are relationship documents required?
They may be required depending on the case, transplant center and applicable authorities. Requirements are confirmed individually.
How do I receive a hospital quotation?
Submit a Case Review. If the hospital can evaluate the pathway, a case-specific quotation may be prepared after it reviews the recipient and donor circumstances.
Should I book travel before preliminary review?
It is generally safer to wait for the hospital’s preliminary response and requested next steps before booking travel.
Does MedTransplant decide transplant eligibility?
No. The transplant center and relevant authorities make all final eligibility decisions.
Can MedTransplant find or arrange a kidney donor?
No. MedTransplant does not find, source, sell, broker or arrange organs or donors.
