An Ohio hospital has launched an investigation after a kidney was transplanted into the wrong patient. Luckily, the patient was compatible with the kidney and is recovering from the surgery.
Officials at University Hospitals in Cleveland apologized to the other patient and said they have notified the United Network for Organ Sharing about the mix-up. The condition of the other patient was not released, and the hospital did not say when they would be able to get another kidney. We have offered our sincerest apologies to these patients and their families. We recognize they entrusted us with their care. The situation is entirely inconsistent with our commitment to helping patients return to health and live life to the fullest, officials said in a statement.
