After listening to the critical condition of Siachen braveheart Lance Naik Hanamananthappa Koppad in the hospital, a UP woman has reportedly volunteered to donate her kidney to the soldier. 

Lance Naik Koppad was found alive under 25 feet of snow six days after the Siachen avalance. But this one miracle hasn't been enough, as the soldier is fighting for his life in Delhi's Army Research & Referral hospital. Lance Naik Koppad is in comatose and the doctors have revealed that his liver and kidney have been dysfunctional. 

According to reports, a housewife from UP's Lakhimpur Kheri called up a local news channel inquiring how to contact the Delhi hospital so that she can donate a kidney to the soldier. 

The medical team at R&R Hospital is monitoring his situation continuously and is treating him with best expertise and resources available in the world, the bulletin said.

The hospital has said he is expected to have a stormy course in the "next 24 hours" due to the complications caused by re-warming and establishment of blood flow to the cold parts of the body.

Hanamanthappa was flown out by a helicopter on Tuesday from the site of the avalanche that hit his post at Siachen Glacier along with a medical specialist to the base camp at the glacier, from where he was brought to the Thois air base.

He was then transferred to Delhi by a fixed-wing aircraft of IAF along with a critical care specialist of the force and a medical specialist from the base camp.

Hanamanthappa is being treated by a team of intensivists, neurologist, nephrologist, endocrinologist and surgeons. He has been administered fluids, drugs to bring up his blood pressure, besides antibiotics.
