'Free to go'
Dr Sanjay Gupta, senior nephrologist, AIIMS, who was attending on Singh, said, "He is fit to be discharged. We discharged him today morning."
"He was brought to AIIMS from Tihar Jail following complications related to post-renal transplant, diarrhoea, urinary tract infection, diabetes, dehydration, hypothyroid and hypertension," added Dr Gupta.
Talking about his medical history, Dr Gupta said "He had undergone a renal transplant in September 2009 and intestinal surgery 10 years ago. His condition is rather better now. His creatinine level was fluctuating when he was brought to us. Along with that, he had other health complications too."

All renal transplant patients are on immunosuppresive medications (to prevent rejection of transplanted organs), which make them prone to infections, or in other words, their immunity level goes for a toss.
Any renal transplant patient, showing more than 30 per cent acute rise in creatinine, needs admission for finding cause and managing the same.
