The first combined liver-kidney transplant has been performed at the prestigious King George's Medical University (KGMU) after the family members of a brain-dead 20-year-old patient donated the organs.
The liver, kidneys, and corneas were harvested from a 20-year-old resident of Lonar village in Hardoi.
He was admitted to the KGMU Trauma Centre after a road accident last month and had been on ventilator support. The accident took place on October 24 in Hamirpur. The donor worked as a helper in the transport sector.
