As per Dr. L H Hiranandani Hospital just because there is a pandemic afoot does not reduce the burden of other disorders. The end-stage renal disorder is one of those illnesses. As patients thus afflicted were not keen to come to the hospital during the time, their conditioned worsened. The dialysis frequency had to be increased temporarily to stabilize their condition.
