Suki Mangat aims to inspire organ donation awareness in Canada.
A Richmond resident is among those featured in an upcoming short TV series about transplant patients.
Two years later, with a new family doctor, he learned he had the blood pressure levels of a 73-year-old man — news a teenager never expects to hear. Doctors found that the anti-rejection drugs for his transplant had affected his hip bones, leading to Magnat requiring two hip replacements.Magnat now requires a second kidney transplant, but one specifically for highly sensitive patients.
These high antibody levels can cause the body to reject kidneys from most donors, making it difficult to find a suitable donor, according to BC Transplant.
