64-year-old Swaraj, who has been in and out of the hospital for last few months, said she was undergoing treatment for kidney failure.

"Friends: This is to update you on my health. I am in AIIMS because of kidney failure. Presently, I am on dialysis. I am undergoing tests for a Kidney transplant. Lord Krishna will bless," she tweeted.

News agency Press Trust of India, citing hospital sources, said: "Her condition is stable. Her history of chronic diabetes has affected her kidney functioning. She is on dialysis."

Swaraj is being monitored by a team of doctors at the cardio-neuro centre under the supervision of Balram Airan, chief of the Cardio Thoracic Centre.

 

In her two years as the external affairs minister, Swaraj has been one of the most widely appreciated ministers on social media, thanks to her online presence and immediacy in helping out Indians in crisis, both in the country and abroad.

Earlier this year, the 64-year-old minister was admitted to AIIMS for several weeks in April due to chest congestion. She was discharged after she underwent treatment for fever and pneumonia symptoms.
