Spiritual leader and revered saint Premanand Ji Maharaj continues to receive medical care after reports confirmed that his kidneys have failed. His ashram, Shri Hit Radha Keli Kunj Parikar Shridham Vrindavan, has officially stated that Maharaj Ji is stable but undergoing regular dialysis due to kidney failure.
Current Health Status
In recent days, several photos and videos of the saint have circulated on social media, showing him with swollen eyes and a visibly weak body. This led to widespread concern among his followers across India and abroad. Many devotees began offering prayers for his recovery, while some even volunteered to donate their kidneys.
But the ashram administration has reassured devotees that Maharaj Ji’s condition is under control, urging everyone do not to trust false claims or old videos circulating online.
According to the statement, “Maharaj Ji is receiving the best medical care. His condition is delicate but stable. We request everyone to pray for his health and avoid spreading unverified information.”
The ashram also clarified that Maharaj Ji’s daily early morning walk and public appearances have been temporarily suspended to ensure rest and recovery.
Premanand Ji Maharaj has been facing chronic kidney problems for some time. His kidneys are no longer functioning adequately, and as a result, he is receiving regular dialysis to help purify his blood and maintain essential body functions. Dialysis has become a crucial part of his treatment plan as his medical team continues to monitor his condition closely.
What Is Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD)?
Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) is a genetic disorder that gradually damages the kidneys over time.
In this condition, multiple fluid-filled cysts develop inside the kidneys. As these cysts grow, they enlarge the kidneys and reduce their ability to filter waste and toxins from the blood. This leads to progressive kidney damage, high blood pressure, and eventually, kidney failure.
Types of PKD: There are mainly two forms of the disease
Autosomal Dominant PKD:
The most common form, usually appears in adults between ages 30 and 50. Only one copy of the defective gene (inherited from either parent) is enough to cause the disease. It often runs strongly in families.
Autosomal Recessive PKD:
A rare type that typically appears in infants or young children. Both parents must carry the defective gene for the child to develop the condition.
Common Symptoms
In the early stages, PKD may not cause any noticeable signs. As cysts enlarge, symptoms can include:
-
Pain or heaviness in the back or sides
-
Frequent urination
-
High blood pressure
-
Blood in the urine (hematuria)
-
Feeling of fullness or bloating in the abdomen
-
Fatigue and weakness due to reduced kidney function
Currently, there is no permanent cure for PKD. Treatment focuses on managing symptoms and slowing progression of kidney damage. With timely diagnosis, medical care, and lifestyle modifications, many people with PKD live active and fulfilling lives for decades.
