Overview
Observing that active systemic infections are potential reasons for excluding transplant recipients, the Telangana State Consumer Disputes Redressal Commission recently directed a Nephrologist to pay Rs 3 lakh to the parents of a diseased patient suffering from 'Vesicoureteral Reflux Nephropathy'.
