KATHMANDU: Doctors have advised Prime Minister KP Sharma Oli to undergo kidney transplantation yet again in case the dialysis fails to function. Prime Minister Oli underwent dialysis after he was admitted to Grande International Hospital in Dhapasi yesterday.
Doctors attending to Oli are observing how effectively the dialysis functions. “In case it fails to function effectively in the course of time, Oli is recommended to undergo kidney transplantation,” a hospital source said.
Prime Minister’s private doctor Dibya Singh Shah and hospital administration, in a press statement, said that Prime Minister Oli was taken to the hospital for a regular health checkup and his health condition was normal.
However, doctors have said that Oli’s health condition is not normal. His blood tested for a high level of creatinine which is harmful to the kidney, hospital sources told Khabarhub.
Hence, preparations are underway to conduct kidney transplantation on Oli yet against. A donor has been arranged to this effect, a highly-placed source said. Oli was taken to Dhapasi-based hospital for a health check-up at 9 am on Wednesday.
Earlier on October 19, he was taken to the same hospital for various tests. Prime Minister Oli had also on September 11 visited the Tribhuvan University Teaching Hospital (TUTH) and got a catheter removed from his neck that was inserted in PM Oli’s neck when he underwent plasmapheresis at the Singapore-based National University Hospital.
Plasmapheresis is a process in which unhealthy plasma is taken out and fresh plasma is transfused into the patient.
It should be recalled that PM Oli was admitted to the National University Hospital in August.
He had on August 12 returned from Singapore after his health check-up in the hospital. He had gone back for further treatment to the same hospital on August 22.
Prime Minister Oli had undergone kidney transplantation at Apollo Hospital in India 12 years ago.
His daughter-in-law Anjana Ghimire Oli had donated one of her kidneys to Oli.
