As per Ritaben’s doctor, the dysfunction she has been suffering from not only affects kidney but also weakens the body’s immune system which put other healthy parts of the body in danger of catching infections. 

Vinod Patel and Ritaben both have been keenly observed by doctors, who found their
kidneys to be appropriate for transplant.

The kidney transplant will be conducted on Sunday at a private hospital in Ahmedabad, told Dr Siddhartha Mavani to ANI.
