Renal Transplantation at Sanjay Manager Gandhi Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences has successful- ly performed the first kidney transplantation in lockdown. The patient was a 24-year-old woman and the donor her 36-year-old husband male from Patna, Bihar. Both were medically fit to go under the knife. “SGPGIMS used to do 130- 140 transplantations every year but the current pandemic disrupt- ed the services since March after lockdown was imposed,” media spokesperson of SGPGI said. Director Dr RK Dhiman wanted to restore this service as soon as possible because SGPGI is the only centre in UP which performs kidney transplantation regularly, she said. “It was the first kidney transplantation at SGPGIMS since the declaration of lockdown. Both the donor and recipient were tested for Covid-19 and the reports turned out to be negative,” she said. The nephrologist team was led by Amit Gupta, Narayan Prasad and other faculty members. The transplant sur- geons’ team was led by Aneesh Srivastava and other faculty mem- bers while anaesthesia team lead by Anil Agarwal. !"#!"!"
