Birmingham Hospital Conducts Kidney Transplant
BIRMINGHAM, UNITED KINGDOM - JUNE 09: (EDITOR'S NOTE: GRAPHIC CONTENT) Consultant Surgeon Andrew Ready flushes the kidney from donor Tracey Playfair during a live donor kidney transplant at The Queen Elizabeth Hospital Birmingham on 9 June, 2006, Birmingham, England. Kidney failure patient Carol Playfair was given the chance of life when her sister Tracey Playfair offered one of her own perfect kidneys to help save the life of Carol. The operation at The QE Hospital, part of The University Hospital's Trust was one of 1500 live donor transplants carried out in the United Kingdon every year. Despite the introduction of Donor Cards, there are still too few kidneys available to help all those who require a transplant, thereby producing a waiting list and the only chance of survival is by live donor.
