Young Woman Excels After Kidney Transplant
In New York at Bellevue Hospital a 29 year old German born woman, Sylvia Szlak, is reported doing splendidly after a kidney transplant. Doctors credited extensive tissue compatibility testing that linked a 43 year old donor who had suffered a stroke. The operation lasted 90 minutes after the donor died Friday evening and the transplanted organ has functioned normally.
