However, she said his blood parameters continued to show borderline abnormalities because of prolonged fasting and required continuous monitoring and treatment.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"6\"\/>\u201cHe continues to remain on fast. Therefore, he is very weak and there is a risk of deterioration and complications. <!-- -->Our combined team from AIIMS and Safdarjung Hospital feels that he needs continuous monitoring and we must remain prepared for any medical intervention that may become necessary to maintain his health,\u201d Dr Bamba said.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"11\"\/>She added that experts from both institutions were of the opinion that Wangchuk should continue to remain admitted as his blood parameters had not yet returned to normal. He is currently admitted under the department of medicine.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>In its latest health bulletin issued on Sunday evening, Safdarjung Hospital said Wangchuk\u2019s vital parameters remained stable and his blood parameters had shown \u201cminor improvement\u201d, although they still required close monitoring. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"16\"\/>The hospital said the physiological stress and systemic effects of prolonged fasting necessitated continuous medical care under the supervision of a multidisciplinary team. It added that doctors from Safdarjung Hospital and AIIMS believed sustained medical intervention and round-the-clock clinical monitoring were essential to promptly detect and manage any potential complications.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"19\"\/>The latest bulletin marked a slight improvement from the morning update, which had said Wangchuk\u2019s blood parameters remained marginally altered despite stable vital signs.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"21\"\/>The medical update came amid afresh legal and political controversy after Wangchuk\u2019s wife, Gitanjali J Angmo, questioned the hospital\u2019s management about his treatment. <span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"24\"\/>She alleged discrepancies in the potassium levels communicated to the family and those reflected in an independent laboratory report, and accused authorities of preventing the family from shifting him to a private hospital. <!-- -->Angmo approached Delhi High Court seeking permission to shift him to a private hospital, but the court declined interim relief for the transfer.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"28\"\/>Doctors not associated with Wangchuk\u2019s treatment said prolonged fasting beyond two weeks could rapidly become medically unpredictable.
