Anantapur, April 07: The condition of Satya Sai Baba, in hospital with heart and kidney complications since March 28, was reported to be stable and improving.
So attesting, a whole group of mandarins including Sri Satya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences director Dr A N Safaya, medical expert Dr Ravi Raj, principal secretary (health) P V Ramesh and Anantapur Collector B Janardhan Reddy, said Wednesday that Baba was responding to treatment and his blood pressure and sugar levels were normal.
They cited several parameters to underline their point. The leader’s pacemaker was working well and his heart was beating at 80 beats per minute. Blood pressure, sugar, sodium and potassium levels were normal. When Baba was hospitalised, he had been suffering from pneumonia and had pressure on his lungs. Now, the pressure has lessened.
However, Saibaba continued to be under a ventilation system in the intensive care unit and CRRT was being continued to assist his kidneys. Body temperature was recorded near normal. Doctors are removing excess water from his body and swelling in the legs has come down, they explained.
