Yashoda Hospitals, HITEC City, organised Kidney Symposium 2026, bringing together nephrologists, urologists and transplant specialists to discuss advances in kidney transplantation, post-transplant care and graft health. The symposium also highlighted the importance of organ donation awareness and long-term follow-up
Those arrested include Dr. Siddamshetty Avinash, a General Surgeon; Dr. Guntupally Sumanth, Managing Director of Alakananda Hospital; mediators Ponnuswamy Pradeep and Suraj Mishra; and Narsagani Gopi, Ramavath Ravi, Sapavath Ravinder, Sapavath Harish, and Podila Sai.
Chronic kidney patients in Telangana State, who have undergone kidney transplantation either through a donor kidney from a close relative or cadaver donation under Jeevandan initiative, are struggling to finance their daily living costs
The petitioners told the court that the kidney donor was the biological brother of the kidney donee, a 35-year-old woman, however their names in the Aadhar card did not reflect same father name.
Such kidney transplants with different blood group compatibility, which had to be taken-up because of the absence of blood-group matched donor, are known as ABO incompatible.
Dozens of doctors and nurses silently lined the hospital hallway in tribute: For a history-making two months, a pig's kidney worked normally inside the brain-dead man on the gurney rolling past them.
