A record number of organ transplants were performed last year in BC and many involved kidneys.

Three hundred and forty-six transplants were carried out in 2013, about 40 more than the year before. Of these, 127 involved kidneys from living donors, up from 83 in 2012, and 107 from deceased donors, roughly on par with the year before.
