Out of these, PGIMER alone has contributed 38 of these. This is the first childbirth happening after pancreas transplant at our institute and possibly the first in India. While globally pancreas transplant remains fairly common with nearly 35,000 pancreas transplant having been performed in United States, It has just started in our country.\u201dExpressing her happiness at the successful delivery in this high risk case,\u00a0Prof. Seema Chopra, Obsetrics In-charge at PGIMER\u00a0stated, \u201cThere were different opinions as she was considered to be a high risk patient given her past history of diabetes, hypertension and kidney failure. Ultimately, after consultation with obstetrics team, she decided to proceed ahead. Fortunately, her glucose, blood pressure and kidney function remained within normal limits throughout the pregnancy. However, in view of high-risk status it was decided to perform a Caesarean section at nine months and she delivered a female baby of weight 2.5 kg with uneventful recovery.\u201dThe mother to the newly born baby girl was diagnosed to be suffering from type one diabetes since the age of 13, i.e. from 2005 when she developed loss of consciousness and had been under treatment of Deptt. of Endocrinology, PGIMER since then.Detailng about the case management,\u00a0Prof. Sanjay Bhadada, Head, Deptt. of Endocrinology, PGIMER,\u00a0shared,\u00a0\u201cThe mother\u2019s\u00a0\u00a0diabetes was labile and required >70 units of insulin every day along with strict monitoring of blood glucose. Despite this, it was difficult to control and in one instance she required hospitalisation with ventilator support. In 2016 she developed swelling of entire body when it was diagnosed that she had developed kidney failure. She was initiated on Dialysis twice a week in 2018.\u201dShe was lucky to undergo simultaneous pancreas and kidney transplant when one brave heart donor family donated organs of their deceased dear one after his brain death here in PGIMER.After this transplant, both diabetes and renal failure got cured and she had been leading a normal life. Two years later she got married and now she is a mother to a lovely baby girl.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
