A critically ill nine-month-old male infant with early kidney failure was saved by the Astha Mother and Child Care Hospital (AMCCH) here and the baby boy was discharged from hospital on Friday.
The baby’s father, Chotlal Badaik, a farmer and his mother, Draupadi Badaik, are residents of Gadburu village under Nuagaon block. When they found their son was suffering from fever regularly and also had problem while urinating, they admitted him at the hospital. He was detected with early kidney failure and the root cause of this was a blockade to the free flow of urine from the bladder because of congenital valves at the bladder neck.
The only treatment for this is a specialized surgery. Paediatric surgeon Dr Jainendra Kumar who came from Ranchi to AMCCH with his specialised instruments successfully conducted the operation on May 13.
