Breakthrough Cases

A tremendous job has been done by Dr. Amit Sharma. I met with an accident in which the ACL ligament of my left knee was completely torn. I met Dr. Amit Sharma then he analysed the situation and told us about the procedure and the time period to recover from the injury. He has performed a successful surgery. The good thing is the confidence that Dr. Amit Sharma has on his surgery that he didn’t put braces on the knee while other doctors put the braces on for a month and then started Physiotherapy which will take a longer time period to heal from the injury. Dr. Amit Sharma has started the Physiotherapy from the very next day of the...

The good thing is the confidence that Dr. Amit Sharma has on his surgery that he didn’t put braces on the knee while other doctors put the braces on for a month and then started Physiotherapy which will take a longer time period to heal from the injury.
Dr. Amit Sharma has started the Physiotherapy from the very next day of the surgery and i was discharged in 2 days, and the Physiotherapy is undergoing at my home. It's the 10th day today and I have gained so much confidence in 10 days that I am recovering very fast and in a few weeks I will be able to walk without any support.

Thanks to Dr. Amit Sharma, he is really having magical hands, he is very kind in nature, in my regular visits all of my stress went away after talking to him.

Again Thank You so much Doctor

She consulted our expert team of doctors, Dr Prajit Mazumdar, Dr Vaibhav Saxena, and Dr Kuldeep Agarwal, at Yashoda Superspeciality Hospital, Kaushambi. They recommended renal transplantation as the best form of renal replacement therapy. Her transplant workup was initiated, and her mother, who had a matching blood group, was identified as the donor.
After obtaining clearance from cardiology, pulmonology, gynaecology, and psychiatry, as well as approval from the authorisation committee, she successfully underwent renal transplantation with ATG induction. Post-transplant, she maintained good urine output with steadily decreasing creatinine levels and was discharged with a creatinine of 1.2 mg/dl.
She continues to do well on outpatient follow-up, two years after her transplant, with stable graft function.
