A successful kidney transplant can help a patient live longer with improved quality of life. It is like being blessed with gift of life twice. A new life and new hope where patient can get his own normal life back all over again. This story is about a man who was diagnosed as a case of FSGS with hypertension since 2006. He was reasonably fine till 2015 after which he started haemodialysis. On 2017 he received renal transplantation from his sister. He returned to his normal daily life and his sister is doing fine as well. He became father of his second child after renal transplantation. This film was made in November 2020.The reason behind making this film was to raise the awareness regarding renal transplantation. As this is the only treatment modality in end stage kidney disease where patients recover all functions of kidney with an improved quality of life. More improved life with more control over daily activities. It also eliminates the need for dialysis.
