Kidney transplanted successfully at a city hospital
A 28-year-old man suffering from chronic kidney disease was given a new lease of life by his father, who donated a kidney. Suresh Kumar of Tenali was born with only one functional kidney which deteriorated over time.
In a press conference here on Wednesday, doctors of Capital Hospitals, who performed the transplantation surgery, said that both the donor and the recipient were discharged from the hospital on Tuesday.
Doctors said Suresh Kumar and his 55-year-old father, Ravi Kumar of Tenali, in the neighbouring Guntur district, initially approached nephrologist and transplantation physician Pavan Kumar Perugu, who upon examination found high levels of creatinine and damage to the only kidney. Mr. Suresh was advised to undergo transplantation given his health condition.
