Patna: Rashtriya Janata Dal (RJD) leader and former Bihar chief minister Lalu Prasad Yadav’s condition has deteriorated following a rise in his blood sugar levels. Medical experts attending to him in Patna have opined that he should be taken to Delhi for advanced treatment. Under observation at his wife Rabri Devi’s house in Patna now, Lalu is expected to proceed to Delhi soon. He has been unwell for two days but his condition considerably worsened today.
Lalu Prasad Yadav had been grappling with multiple health ailments for several years. He was also under treatment at AIIMS in Delhi during July last year. He had undergone a kidney transplant in December 2022 in Singapore, one of his most critical medical interventions. His kidney disease diagnosis at the beginning of the year left 25% of his kidney function intact, according to the doctors. His daughter Rohini Acharya, based in Singapore, gave away one of her kidneys for the operation.
In 2019, Lalu had suffered several fractures following a fall at Rabri Devi’s home in Patna. After receiving preliminary treatment at a private hospital in the city, where he underwent training, they flew him to Delhi.
Furthermore, last September, Lalu had also undergone an angioplasty after cardiac diseases were discovered in him in a jail during his Ranchi’s Birsa Munda Central Jail imprisonment. Doctors first discovered his heart condition in 2021, which prompted them to recommend specialist treatment.
The long-serving politician suffered recurring health issues during his career that have triggered ongoing medical intervention, but the situation has been of special concern to family and backers.
