Abdul Bashit, an 11-year-old Pakistani citizen who is elder among 3 of his siblings, suffered from severe jaundice soon after birth. He was diagnosed with Criglar Najjar Syndrome.\u00a0 The disease that is seen in 1 in a million babies causes the blood to increase in a dangerous type of bilirubin pigment. During the first two months of his life, Abdul underwent continuous phototherapy at the hospital to prevent complications such as brain damage and hearing loss from that condition. He was then released to go home and continue the treatment with phototherapy.<\/p>\n
His skin thickened as he grew older, and the light penetration decreased, making it less powerful. His jaundice would worsen and then he would miss school so he could be under the lights for as long as he could. The phototherapy machine would be held for the whole night, holding the intense light and survival sun. He had bothered by the constant yellow eyes and skin. Because only a liver transplant was the ultimate therapy performed at Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals in Delhi. <\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cThe maternal uncle of Abdul agreed to be the donor and the family traveled for a liver transplant to India. On 30th October 2015, he was treated to a successful liver transplant and discharged on 17th November 2015. He\u2019ll be back in school early and live a happy life. The expertise and knowledge of Apollo in this area have ensured that our five and ten-year survival rates are equivalent to the world\u2019s best centers. To save lives, we will continue to offer this service to a wider cross-section of the population.\u201d Said by Dr. Subash Gupta, Chief Liver Transplant Surgeon<\/a><\/span>.<\/strong><\/p>\n Dr. Anupam Sibal, Group head of Medical Sciences, Apollo Hospital Group and senior consultant, Indraprastha Apollo Hospitals<\/strong>, said that \u201cAbdul has received the Enzyme with the new liver and his eyes are white and his constant companion, the phototherapy team, has finally admitted. More than 2300 liver transplants have now been conducted in patients not only from all parts of our country but also from over 40 countries. Over the past 17 years, after we conducted the first successful liver transplant<\/strong><\/a><\/span> in India in 1988, we are fortunate to have won so many patient’s confidence. The family expressed a wish to meet Salman Khan and were delighted that yesterday Abdul was able to meet his hero Salman in Mumbai.<\/p>\n \u201cThis story was my child\u2019s experience of the journey from birth to age 11, also named \u2018SUNFLOWER OR GOLDEN BOY\u2019<\/strong> for his intensely yellow Criglar Najar Syndrome. For the last 11 years, the yellowish discoloration of his skin and eyes caused him to be naked at night. That\u2019s the path we didn\u2019t choose and we didn\u2019t want. We are glad that we finished it now on a happy note. There\u2019s been a lot of emotions, hopes, feelings, wishes coming our way. This transplant is a humanitarian effort to promote human dignity across the borders\u201d Abdul’s mother said.<\/p>\n When they left for their homeland, the team and all the Indians with whom they came in contact had words of praise.<\/p>\n Indraprastha Apollo Hospital is a joint venture between the government of Delhi and Apollo Hospitals Enterprise Limited.
