Cadaveric kidney transplants yield mixed results

News Desk :
In January, surgeons performed the cadaveric kidney transplantation procedure for the second time in Bangladesh, transferring the organs from a clinically dead person to two patients.

The results have been mixed, reports bdnews24.com
One of the kidney recipients is on the path to recovery and is set to be discharged from hospital imminently. The other, however, died 10 days after the surgery.

The process started after the death of Md Masum, a 38-year-old resident of Dhaka’s Kamrangirchar, during treatment at Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU) on Jan 25.
