A woman has retracted claims that doctors from a Ho Chi Minh City based obstetrics hospital stole her kidney after tests showed the kidney was not missing only abnormally small.

A computed tomography (CT) scan conducted at Hung Vuong Obstetrics Hospital’s Medic Diagnosis Center showed the left kidney of the 53 year old woman known only as N.T.N.T. measured only 11 by 25 millimeters, while the right one was normal.

T. underwent the test on Monday after receiving the hospital’s findings that doctors did not take her kidney. She retracted her claims on Wednesday.

Last week T. complained to news agencies that she underwent ovarian surgery on November 26 last year at Hung Vuong Hospital and was released in December.

On November 2 last year T. had her health checked at the Medic Diagnosis Center. The test results showed she had a large ovarian tumor, while she was not suffering from kidney stones.

However, when she had a check-up at the medical center in October this year, the results showed she didn’t have a left kidney.

After another test at a different hospital showed the same result, she accused the surgeons at Hung Vuong hospital of stealing her kidney.

The hospital held a press conference last Wednesday presenting evidence to confirm that the doctors did not take T.’s kidney.

Experts said T. was born with a shrunken kidney, a condition which affects one in every 1,100 people.
