Kidney Transplant
Clip: Season 17 Episode 1703 | 3m 7sVideo has Closed Captions
A matching donor for a Colville man needing a kidney was literally the man next door.
The increasing rate of diabetes and high blood pressure are two reasons kidney transplants are among the most common organ transplants. Andy Kroiss never imagined he would need a new kidney, until his health started to fail and he went on diaylisis – what happened next was amazing - even to his doctor’s.
