- Description
- Children’s kidney transplants at Guy’s Hospital in London have been stopped after surgeons recorded a rejection rate two-and-a-half times the national average in last year’s patients. Doctors think that an antibody present in the blood of most of the patients who lost their graft is in some way involved. Dr Sue Rigden of Guy’s speaks at a press conferences(?); LBC science correspondent, John Allen, reports.
