A 23 year-old Uzbek national, who was suffering from both kidneys failure, was saved at Delhi’s Aakash Healthcare Super Speciality Hospital when her mother's kidney was transplanted to her in a complicated and rare procedure.
According to officials, the patient, Mokhichekhrakhon Sultonova, who recently became a mother, kidneys failed due to hypotension (low blood pressure), resulting in tubular necrosis, a kidney disorder involving damage to the tubule cells of the kidneys.
“Patient’s mother Mavjuda Khalilova, had contacted the Aakash Hospital via email after her daughter's condition deteriorated in their home country.
She made the decision to donate her kidney to her daughter since she was unable to nurse and care of her child but most importantly she was gradually losing her life,” said the official.
Dr Vikram Kalra, the Additional Director and senior consultant, Nephrology and Kidney Transplant, Aakash Healthcare said that the donated kidney is functioning normally after surgery, and both the mother and the daughter are doing well. “Patient had very difficult time after delivery at Uzbekistan and had ileostomy (stool stoma over abdominal wall). She was very happy and excited to know when we told her that the closure of ileostomy was possible and after 3 weeks, she will be fit to undergo kidney transplantation. Mokhichekhrakhon is now able to resume her normal life and spend all of the time she has missed with her daughter,” said Dr Kalra.
“It brings me great joy to see my daughter and granddaughter spending time together once more. Mokhichekhrakhon spent the majority of her time in the hospital following her delivery.
There was no time for the baby who had just been born. Thanks to Aakash Hospital, my daughter has recovered and my grandchild is back with her mother, free of any medical concerns.
I will be eternally grateful to India for its assistance,” says Mavjuda Khalilova. Dr Aashish Chaudhry, Managing Director, Aakash Healthcare, Dwarka said that India has been one of the most popular destinations for Uzbek nationals seeking medical care. “Indian hospitals provide a wide variety of pre-surgery and post-surgery services, from cutting-edge equipment and facilities to leading drug development and treatment alternatives. Furthermore, the cost of therapy in India is relatively low, which attracts a large number of patients,” he added.
