Narayana RN Tagore Hospital, Mukundapur, Performs the World's First Kidney Transplant of its Kind

News Desk, News Nation 360 : In a landmark medical achievement, doctors at Narayana RN Tagore Hospital in Mukundapur successfully performed a rare kidney transplant on a young man from Bhutan suffering from Factor VII deficiency, one of the world's rarest genetic bleeding disorders that affects only one in five million people. This is the first successful transplant of its sort in the world, demonstrating Narayana Health's expertise in addressing difficult and high-risk medical illnesses. Speaking about the complexity of the case, Dr Deepak Shankar Ray, Consultant & Chief Nephrologist (Renal Transplant Programme), Narayana RN Tagore Hospital, Mukundapur, stated that this case pushed the limits of medical coordination and surgical discipline. They were performing a kidney transplant on a guy who may have died from minimal bleeding. Every step, from anaesthetic to suturing, had to be choreographed in accordance with real-time clotting parameters. The success of this surgery is due to teamwork, rigorous planning, and the family's unwavering trust. Their interdisciplinary team of doctors provided vital assistance, and their experience was critical to the successful completion of the treatment and the survival of this young kid. They particularly appreciate the contributions of Dr Tarshid Ali Jahangir from the Surgical Team and Dr Titisa Sarkar Mitra from the Anaesthesiology Team. Severe Factor VII insufficiency is extremely rare, affecting just one in every fifty lakh persons worldwide. Managing such a case necessitates a delicate balance; too little Factor VII could result in catastrophic bleeding, while too much can induce lethal clots. We had to maintain the smallest feasible margin of safety, minute by minute, throughout the procedure and beyond. It's quite satisfying to see the patient and his father doing well.
