Asher Bagadam donated his kidney to his sister Ashritha after she was bumped from the transplant list and suffered heart complications.
A woman who was removed from a transplant waiting list without her knowledge has finally received a new kidney – from her brother.
Ashritha Bagadam was diagnosed with a chronic kidney disease in 2017, and said her health journey since had been “traumatic”.
The 25-year-old Aucklander said she had been put on a waiting list for a new kidney in August 2021 but Middlemore Hospital removed her from the list the following December.
She was also put on the incorrect dialysis programme for six months, she said, which made her sicker and caused fluid to build up around her heart.
