Webster Man Thrives With Rare Century-Old Kidney
Original: Webster Man Thrives with a ‘Rare’ Century-Old Kidney
A man from Webster is living healthily with a kidney transplant that is roughly a century old, according to the University of Rochester Medical Center. The case is described as rare because organs of such age are seldom viable for transplantation, and the patient is reported to be thriving years after receiving it.
Why now: The extraordinary age of the donated organ makes the successful transplant outcome highly unusual and newsworthy.
