Minister Swaraj was admitted to AIIMS on November 7 and is being monitored by a team of doctors. According to the sources at AIIMS, “Her condition is stable. Her history of chronic diabetes has affected her kidney functioning. She is on dialysis.”
‘”Presently, I am on dialysis. I am undergoing tests for a Kidney transplant. Lord Krishna will bless,” tweeted Minister Swaraj.’
The 64-year-old BJP leader was admitted to the AIIMS in April for the treatment of respiratory problems. Minister Swaraj has been suffering from diabetes for almost 20 years.
Kidney failure is a condition in which the kidneys fail to adequately filter metabolic wastes from the blood. Almost 66% kidney failure occurs due to hypertension or diabetes.
