Arun Jaitley discharged from AIIMS after kidney transplant
Jaitley, 65, was admitted to the hospital on May 12, and the surgery was performed on May 14. According to AIIMS sources, the kidney was donated to the 65-year-old minister by a distant relative, a middle-aged woman. The surgery was carried out at the cardio-thoracic centre by a team of 20 personnel, including transplant surgeons and transplant anesthesiologists.
Post the renal transplant, Jaitley was kept in isolation ward to avoid infection. During his stay in the hospital, he wrote a Facebook post on completion of 4 years of the Modi government. Jaitley informed about his illness through a tweet on April 6 and had undergone dialysis for about a month. In September 2014, Jaitley underwent a bariatric surgery to treat weight gain because of a long-standing diabetic condition.
