Add to My Stories Surgeons are celebrating success today after a father successfully received a kidney from his daughter – despite the fact that they have different blood groups. Mark Trimby, 47, an engineer from Bradley Stoke, Bristol, had the organ transplant from his daughter Carly, 24, in March using a new technique pioneered in Japan which potentially offers hope to more patients with advanced kidney failure.
