Successful Kidney Transplant

Kidney Transplant: A Saga of Struggle, Sacrifice, Love, Courage & Hope

The Struggle:

Shri Parved Kumar, an Indian Armed Forces personnel, was diagnosed with renal failure in 2016 and underwent hemodialysis. His father sought help from the transplant team led by Prof Dr. D Mukherjee, and he successfully received a kidney transplant on 27 Feb 2016.

The Sacrifice:

In 2016, Shrimati Sheetal was diagnosed with renal failure and started hemodialysis. Due to a lack of suitable donors, she was resigned to a life of dialysis. However, thanks to the selfless donation of a brain-dead patient, Shrimati Sheetal successfully underwent a kidney transplant on 27 Feb 2016.

The Love:

Over time, the bond between the two transplant patients grew, and they married on 23 Nov 2019. By 2020, both had stable graft function, marking a new chapter in their lives.

The Courage:

The couple, inspired by their journey, decided to expand their family. After counseling and careful monitoring by Prof Dr. D Mukherjee, Shrimati Sheetal successfully conceived, defying the risks of post-transplant pregnancy.

Hope:

In May 2021, both the couple contracted Covid-19 despite all precautions. Under expert supervision, they recovered fully and welcomed their beautiful daughter, Tanshika Kaith, on 03 June 2021. This remarkable journey of struggle and resilience continues to inspire others suffering from renal failure.

Remarkable Achievement: This is the first kidney transplant couple who has successfully had a healthy child, showcasing the courage of the patients and the devotion of Prof Dr. D Mukherjee and his team.
