Emedinews:Inspiration:Inspiration:All for love and life



In a strange case, a woman donated her organ twice to save her husband from the jaws of death. In 2005, Surat-based Rameshbhai Patel’s life turned topsy–turvy when doctors at the Global Hospital in Hyderabad found him afflicted with liver cirrhosis. Only a liver transplantation could save him. Getting a donor was tough. But his wife Sharadaben stepped in and offered a part of her liver. The transplantation was successfully done in November 2005.

But 4 years later, another crisis struck the family when both the kidneys of Ramesbhai failed due to diabetic nephropathy. The worried couple rushed back to Hyderabad from Surat. He was put on dialysis. Sharadaben once again stepped in and donated her kidney. The transplantation was done in June end and Ramesbhai is completely recovered. "I am lucky to have a wife who is prepared to sacrifice any thing for me", said Rameshbahi after the operation.

Shardaben said: "Actually I am afraid to take even paracetamol tablet. But for my husband I can do anything." Love conquers everything. Sequential liver and kidney transplantation is rare, say nephrologists KS Naik and Dharmesh Kapoor of Global Hospital.
