Dilip Kumar battling kidney failure

Bollywood legend, Dilip Kumar is reportedly battling with kidney failure.

According to Times Of India, the 94-year old star, was rushed to Lilavati Hospital on Wednesday after complaints of dehydration and urinary complications.

Ajaykumar Pandey, vice president of Lilavati Hospital told the publication, “His kidney functions are yet to normalize. We are closely monitoring his condition. We have not started dialysis as yet. His parameters are not stable, but he is not critical either. He is conscious and breathing on his own.”

Another source told the publication, “The actor’s condition is not stable as his creatinine levels are rising. There has not been much improvement in his condition since hospitalization. If the kidney functions continue to deteriorate, it could lead to more complications. In such situations, the heart and lungs tend to get affected next as the toxins start building up in the blood. However, we are hoping the organ regains its functionality”.

Kumar is yet to undergo dialysis.
