An underweight, six-day-old baby girl weighing just 1.34 kg was not passing urine since birth. The child, who lost her father to dengue while she was in the womb, was rushed to Amrita Hospital, Faridabad, where the doctors diagnosed her with severe acute kidney injury, also known as acute renal failure. To save the child, Dr. Urmila Anandh, Head Nephrology and Dr. Hemant Sharma, Consultant, Neonatology decided to undertake Peritoneal Dialysis for 9 days which is rarely done in small preterm babies.
