A NEWLY transplanted kidney was removed after a few hours when it was found the patient’s blood type had been incorrectly recorded. The incident was revealed in a Freedom of Information request. The mistake was made after staff at the Royal Liverpool and Broadgreen University Hospitals trust wrongly recorded the patient’s blood type as A positive and sent it to the computerised national transplant database.
