Navi Mumbai witnessed the life-saving act of a mother donating her kidney to her 27-year-old daughter battling Stage 5 chronic kidney disease. The woman was diagnosed with end-stage kidney disease in April 2026 and underwent a successful transplant at Hiranandani Fortis Hospital in Vashi.
The kidney transplant was performed by surgeons Dr Ramesh Mahajan and Dr Gaurav Kasat under the guidance of Dr Atul Ingale, Director of Nephrology and Transplant Physician at the hospital. The woman's deteriorating health was first detected in April when diagnostic tests confirmed the failure of both her kidneys. Initially, she received dialysis in Pune before her family sought a second opinion from Dr Ingale at Fortis Hiranandani Hospital.
Dr Ingale evaluated her condition and recommended a kidney transplant as an appropriate long-term treatment. Her mother volunteered to donate one of her kidneys, offering her daughter a second chance at life. The hospital's multidisciplinary team conducted the required medical evaluations and secured the necessary regulatory approvals before proceeding with the transplant surgery.
Post-surgery, the patient showed a significant improvement in kidney function and recovered steadily without needing further dialysis during her hospital stay. Dr Ingale highlighted the importance of timely medical intervention saying, "Being diagnosed with kidney failure at such a young age can be extremely challenging, both physically and emotionally. ...
With timely evaluations, necessary approvals and close coordination between our multidisciplinary teams, we were able to complete the transplant journey within a relatively short period."
The young woman expressed her gratitude towards her mother for giving her a second chance at life, and thanked Dr Ingale and the entire medical team for their support. She looks forward to returning to her normal routine, pursuing her personal and professional aspirations, and fulfilling her dreams.
