INDORE: A 12-year-old girl suffering from gross hematuria (presence of blood in urine) secondary to renal arteriovenous fistula (AVF) got a new lease of life after a team of doctors performed midnight surgery on her within hours of diagnosing the problem.
“The 12-year-old girl, a resident of Khandwa, reached the hospital on Saturday night at about 10 pm. She had continuous renal bleeding and pain. During evaluation and diagnosis, it was found that the patient’s urinary bladder was full of clots,” nephrologists Dr Jai Singh Arora and Isha Tiwari Arora said.
“After evaluation, evacuation of bladder was done which was followed by coil embolization. It was a complex procedure and any delay would have proved fatal for the girl. The patient is stable and recovering ,” Dr Arora said. tnn
