Keokuk Toddler Receives Kidney Transplant at Iowa City
An 18 month old girl named Tana White born without kidneys received a kidney from a deceased 6 year old donor at University of Iowa Hospitals. Dr. Robert Corry notes the surgery succeeded despite challenges matching a tiny recipient, with 10 days of monitoring to watch for rejection and the potential to avoid dialysis if rejection occurs. The Iowa program performs nearly 100 renal transplants annually.
