Doctor among 6 arrested in Vizag kidney racket case

[ad_1]
Visakhapatnam: Visakhapatnam Police have arrested a doctor and five others in a kidney racket case.
Cases under Indian Penal Code (IPC) sections 307, 326 and 420 have been registered against them. More accused are likely to be arrested.
Police said on Sunday that they have arrested Prameswara Rao, doctor of a private hospital, and middlemen Kamaraju, Srinu, Shekhar, Elina and Kondamma.

Visakhapatnam Police Commissioner Trivikram Varma told a news conference that the gang was targeting families facing financial problems.
The police chief said kidney surgeries were performed at Tirumala Hospital in the city. Police investigations revealed that recently two kidney operations were performed on Vinay Kumar and Vasupalli Srinivasa Rao.
The racket came to light two days ago after Vinay Kumar, a resident of Vambay Colony in Visakhapatnam, approached police complaining that an agent lured him to sell one of his kidneys. The agent promised that this could fetch him Rs 8.5 lakh but after removing his kidney at a private hospital, he was paid only Rs 2.5 lakh on December 16, 2022.
The police focused on the involvement of doctors in the racket. Two doctors were found to have played a key role in kidney surgery.
Narla Venkateshwar Rao is alleged to have played an important role. He was arrested and jailed in the past for a kidney racket.

Taking serious note of the illegal kidney transplants, Vizag district administration on Saturday sealed Tirumala Hospital.
The authorities have registered criminal cases against the hospital, which was operating without the requisite permissions.
Health Minister Vidadala Rajini has said that the government has stepped up the vigil in view of the rise in cases of illegal kidney transplants.
She said investigations have been ordered into the kidney racket which was being operated by Tirumala Hospital located at Pendurthi.
The health minister has promised that no one involved in this racket will be spared. She said a state-level committee would be constituted to recommend measures to prevent such incidents.

154 stones removed from kidney of a patient at Hyderabad’s AINU

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Urologists at Asian Institute of Nephrology & Urology (AINU), Secunderabad have successfully removed 154 stones from the right kidney of a 45-year-old male patient.
The patient, a resident of Ramagundam area in Telangana, was presented with CT scan report showing few calculi in the kidney, the largest calculi measuring approximately 62mm x 39mm.
This large calculi is extending into all calyces of the kidney. He was diagnosed with uncontrolled blood sugars on evaluation.

After obtaining his blood sugar levels under control, he underwent endoscopic surgery – Per Cutaneous Nephrolithotomy.
The large stone measuring 62 mm x 39 mm was fragmented and retrieved in multiple pieces.
All the secondary stones were retrieved intact. The number of stones removed including the largest stone were 154 in total.
Speaking about the patient, Raghavendra Kulkarni, Consultant Urologist, AINU, said: “Staghorn calculi are complex renal stones that occupy the majority of the renal collecting system. These stones are associated with high morbidity, which can be in the form of recurrent urinary tract infections, kidney injury and neglected / untreated cases can end up with need for dialysis. Managing patients with staghorn calculi can be challenging, especially in diabetes mellitus patients. Advances in technology and techniques have enabled effective treatment with minimal morbidity.
“The patient underwent multi tract PCNL to achieve complete stone clearance. The largest stone measuring about 62mm x 39mm was fragmented and retrieved in multiple pieces. All the secondary stones from all the calyces were retrieved intact. Secondary stones numbered approximately 153 and the size of the stones varied from as small as 2-3 mm to approximately 10mm. The blood loss was very minimal with no transfusions, and the patient recovered well from Anaesthesia,” Kulkarni added.

PCNL has evolved as the first choice of treatment for patients with complex or large renal stone burdens.
Numerous studies have certified the safety and efficacy of PCNL for renal stones.
The presence of diabetes mellitus increases the incidence of post-operative complications, especially infectious complications.
Dr. Raghavendra Kulkarni also thanked his team of experts that included Dr. Gopal Ramdas Tak, Dr. Suraj Pinni and anaesthetist Dr. Srinivas.

Failed kidney, blind eye: Rana Daggubati talks about his serious health issues

[ad_1]
Hyderabad: Rana Daggubati is a real-life ‘Terminator’, not just a hot hunk with a towering personality. The Baahubali actor recently revealed his health issues, which included corneal and kidney transplants. Despite these obstacles, Rana has become a true inspiration to millions of his fans.
Rana revealed in an interview that he is blind in his right eye and can only see with his left. He sees the world through someone else’s eye, which was donated to him after he died. But this hasn’t stopped Rana from achieving his dreams and becoming one of India’s finest actors.
During the promotional interview of his latest movie ‘Rana Naidu’, the actor said, “Many people can get broken because of a physical problem and even it if gets fixed, there is a certain heaviness that will still be there. I had a corneal transplant, I had a kidney transplant so it’s like I am almost the Terminator. (laughs) So, I was like, ‘come on, I am still surviving and you just have to keep going’.”
Rana had revealed about his critical health issues during an appearance on a talk show in past, including high blood pressure, calcification around the heart, and failed kidneys. He admitted that he had a 30% chance of dying, but he faced it with courage and determination.
“Should I tell you one thing, I am blind from my right eye. I see only from my left eye. The one you see is someone else’s eye which was donated to me after his death. If I close my left eye, I can see no one. LV Prasad operated on me when I was young. Study well, we will support you, be courageous as you have to look after your family. Sorrows will go away one day but you have to gear up and keep your family happy always,” Rana Daggubati had said during one of his appearance on Gemini TV show in 2016.

Rana’s story demonstrates the strength of the human spirit and its ability to overcome even the most difficult obstacles. He encourages everyone to keep going regardless of what life throws at them and to always keep their family happy.
So, if you’re feeling down or struggling with your own problems, remember Rana’s wise words and keep going. “Sorrows may fade away one day, but you must continue, just like the Terminator.”
