Nadiad: A 55-year-old woman in Nadiad develops kidney disease after coming in contact with the saliva of the dog she cared for.

A 55-year-old woman, who used to feed and take care of dogs in Piplata in Nadiad, was admitted to ND Desai Hospital in Nadiad after experiencing blood in her urine for seven days. She was diagnosed with Hydatid disease of the kidney, which had caused her kidney to double in size than normal. It was discovered that the disease was caused by the saliva of a dog she had been caring for.

After a five-hour operation conducted by a team of four doctors, including Dr. Pukur Thekdi, medical superintendent at ND Desai Hospital, Dr. Harsh Patel, Dr. Alpesh Parmar, and Dr. Parth Patel, the tumor was successfully removed, and the woman survived. It is noteworthy that the operation was performed free of cost. DeshGujarat
