Patient Dies of Kidney Transplant Complications in Osmania Hospital, Hyderabad
The condition of Venkateshwarlu, who was on dialysis, turned critical two days ago.
His death on Sunday morning too led to protests by his family members and relatives. They staged a dharna in front of the hospital demanding the police and doctors not to perform a post-mortem on the body.
They squatted on the road and raised slogans saying that the incident occurred due to doctors' negligence. ''We do not want the body to be cut into pieces in the name of postmortem. If they go ahead with it despite our insistence, we will commit suicide,'' Venkateswarlu's wife Rani threatened.
Giving in to their objections, the police allowed the family to shift the body to their native Khammam district.
Venkateswarlu was admitted to the OGH due to kidney problems. A transplantation surgery was performed at the hospital after his daughter Radhika donated her kidney in June.
But on the very second day post-transplant, a blood clot developed and the patient’s body rejected the new kidney, which then ceased functioning. Doctors had to remove the kidney, leaving Venkateswarlu dependent on dialysis again.
It led to a major controversy with Venkateshwarlu's family alleging that his daughter's kidney was sold to another person by doctors during the operation, and that another kidney had been transplanted, endangering his life.
