The Liver recipient, a 45-year-old businessman, Mr. P Radhakrishnan from Pollachi near Coimbatore in Tamil Nadu, had multiple comorbidities including obesity, diabetes, Hypertension and recurrent encephalopathy. He subsequently developed chronic Nonalcoholic Steatohepatitis, an advanced form of non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), with typical symptoms of swelling of the abdomen and severe infection, leading to liver failure.

We at Kamineni, with the requisite expertise and state of the art technology have sized up to the occasion and followed the necessary COVID-safety precautions, says Rajasekhar Perumalla. This patient in a terminal stage with severe comorbidities posed multitude of challenges, the team showcasing utmost competence ensured a superlative outcome, he added.
The specialist Liver Transplantation team at Kamineni Hospital after a through diagnosis and evaluating his condition, advised liver transplantation. As he had no compatible blood group donor from the family, he registered for a cadaver organ under the Jeevandan Cadaver Transplantation Programme, in February, and was waiting for a suitable organ. He got a matching blood group cadaver liver and underwent a liver transplant on May 5th, 2021. The liver was harvested from a 38-year-old female, who succumbed due to a chronic kidney ailment. Though the patient developed post-surgery complications including mild renal insufficiency, the expert multi-disciplinary team of specialists ensured he quick recovery. A week after the surgery, his appetite is gradually getting back to normal, his intake of fluids is sufficient and is firmly on the path of recovery.
