County Durham mam waiting 11 years for a kidney
Available for over a year
County Durham mam Gemma Louis says a new medical pilot has given her hope. She has waited for 11 years for a kidney transplant, because the chances of her body rejecting a new organ are high. A new programme means kidney patients who usually need transfusions before and after a transplant could get blood better matched to their tissue type to reduce the risk of organ rejection.
