A kidney transplant was performed on a 19-year-old boy at Kauvery Hospital though there was a blood group incompatibility with a 100% genetic match for the organ.
The boy, who was diagnosed with permanent kidney failure, came to the hospital and after examining his medical history, a team of doctors recommended a transplant as the only option, according to a press release. During such transplants, it is essential that blood groups match between the donor and recipient of the organ.
