Chronic kidney patients in Telangana State, who have undergone kidney transplantation either through a donor kidney from a close relative or cadaver donation under Jeevandan initiative, are struggling to finance their daily living costs
The petitioners told the court that the kidney donor was the biological brother of the kidney donee, a 35-year-old woman, however their names in the Aadhar card did not reflect same father name.
Such kidney transplants with different blood group compatibility, which had to be taken-up because of the absence of blood-group matched donor, are known as ABO incompatible.
Dozens of doctors and nurses silently lined the hospital hallway in tribute: For a history-making two months, a pig's kidney worked normally inside the brain-dead man on the gurney rolling past them.
