Kolkata, Nov 5 (Ians) Veteran Bengali actor Soumitra Chatterjee remained critical but stable on Thursday. According to hospital sources, the octagenarian continued to be on ventilator support and his haemoglobin and platelet counts remained on the lower side.
The octogenarian was not administered dialysis as his urea and creatinine levels came down. His liver and organ functions remained okay. The actor's low haemoglobin and platelet count is due to multiple transfusion and blood loss, doctors said.
Hospital sources said the nephrology review board would discuss about long term kidney support to Chatterjee while the neuro board would deliberate on long term air management on Thursday.
Meanwhile, the actor's daughter Poulami Bose criticised a section of the civil society, saying: "when my father is fighting for life in t he hospital a few people are now busy in mud-slinging. There should be limit of fake news."
