A 52-year-old rickshaw driver from Solapur was suffering from liver cancer. It was necessary to carry out a liver transplant to save his life. However, donors with matching blood groups could not be found. His 25-year-old daughter, a nurse, agreed to donate a part of her liver. Her blood group was not matching her father’s group. The patient’s blood is O type and his daughter’s blood group is of A category.

The Chief of the organ transplant unit at Sahyadri Hospital Dr Bipin Vibhute, led the team of doctors and successfully carried out the transplant. Because of different blood groups, the initial challenge was to overcome immunity-related problems and this challenge was successfully overcome. During an examination after the operation, the patient’s liver was found to be working normally.
