Former Indian Cricketer Vinod Kambli’s Condition Is Said to Be Stable after Being Hospitalised
Vinod Kambli was admitted to Akruti Hospital in Thane after he complained of a urinary infection. Later, doctors discovered brain clots, for which he is being monitored. His condition is said to be stable.
Former Indian cricketer Vinod Kambli was admitted to Akruti Hospital in Thane on Saturday after suffering from fever, cramps, and dizziness.
Dr. Vivek Dwivedi, who is treating Kambli, told Hindustan Times, “When he was admitted on Saturday, he was having massive cramps along with fever and dizziness. He was not able to sit, and was not able to walk. He was also drowsy at the time of admission.”
“We did all the investigation and after that came to know that he was having a urinary tract infection along with electrolyte imbalance. Sodium was a bit on the lower side, potassium was on the lower side. That was the reason for the cramps. His BP was also on the lower side. We started him on antibiotics.”
He is being treated and monitored as blood clots were detected in his brain. Reports suggest that he is currently stable.
Kambli has issued a statement, thanking Doctors for their endless support.
“I am alive because of the doctors here. All I would say is that I will do whatever sir (referring to the doctor) asks me to. People will see the inspiration that I'll give them,” said Kambli.
Vinod Kambli, 52, has been in the news lately due to his deteriorating health condition.
A video of him struggling to get off his bike had been circulating on social media a few months ago. He was also recently in the news during the unveiling of the Ramakant Achrekar memorial in Mumbai.
Kambli's treatment has been taken care of by hospital in-charge S Singh, who has assured the ex-cricketer of life-long free treatment.
Cricketers like Sachin Tendulkar and Kapil Dev have offered financial help to Vinod Kambli on the condition that he undergoes rehabilitation.
