The AIIMS today filed its report in a Delhi court on medical conditions of Rajya Sabha MP Amar Singh, an accused in the 2008 cash-for-vote scam, saying he was hospitalised with it due to his 'fluctuating' health.

Singh, 55, was admitted in AIIMS following complications related to post-renal transplant, diarrhoea, urinary tract infection, diabetes, dehydration and hypothyroid hypertension, Sanjay Gupta, Additional Professor of the Department of Nephrology at AIIMS, said in his report.

The hospital added that Singh has shown no remarkable signs of improvement.

"Though he has no fever today, diarrhoea and vomitting continue to prevail. We can say that his condition continues to remain the same with no remarkable signs of improvement," Dr Gupta said.

The two-page report, submitted before Special Judge Sangita Dhingra Sehgal, said Singh was suffering from multiple health problems.

"The S Creatinine is fluctuating between 1.3-1.6 mg/dl (normal for him is 0.8-0.9 mg/dl). He (Amar Singh) has persistent tachycardia (heart rate exceeding normal range).

"He continues to have vomiting and diarrhoea for which the gastroenterologist has suggested automatic function tests and endoscopy with mucosal biopsy," the report said.

The doctor said any kidney transplant patient, showing more than 30 per cent acute rise in S Creatinine level, needs hospitalisation.

Meanwhile actress-politician Jaya Prada who visited Singh today said: "His medical update is not as good as it should be. He still has infection in kidney, sugar levels are also going up and down, his BP also...

"We cannot go inside as only one person is allowed. So his wife is going inside. We are praying that he should be alright. What happened with him was unfair. He doesn't deserve this kind of punishment."
