Reportedly, the iconic Bengali actor Soumitra Chatterjee has undergone the first round of dialysis on Wednesday (28th October). Doctors took this step as his health condition continued being “very critical”, officials at the private hospital said to PTI. The 85-year old has been “unconscious” since last week and is also suffering from secondary pneumonia.
“The first session of dialysis on Mr. Chatterjee was successful and there were no episodes of blood pressure fluctuations. The dialysis normalized most of his health parameters and other renal functions. However, his condition remains very critical,” a doctor at the medical facility said to PTI.
The prominent actor’s consciousness-level is still “critical”, though he had no fresh episode of fever. According to his doctors, Chatterjee’s lung functions are more or less stable and his ventilation parameter is good too.
The actor was admitted to the hospital on 6th October after he tested positive for COVID-19 (Read the full report here). Chatterjee is the first Indian film personality to be awarded the Ordre des Arts et des Lettres, France‘s highest civilian award.
