From transplant lab worker to donor, Alabama man becomes part of UAB's record kidney chain (VIDEO)
Caption
Divyank Saini, a UAB Histocompatibility Lab technologist, is one of 17 employees who work behind the scenes at UAB Hospital to bring hope to those waiting on heart, lung, kidney, liver and other transplants, by interpreting lab samples to see which donors best match recipients. Earlier this year, Saini -- known as Div by his colleagues -- decided to do more, and he donated one of his kidneys to another person in need as part of the UAB Kidney Chain. The chain, which celebrates its three-year anniversary this December, has seen 67 patients receive a transplant since it began at UAB Hospital in 2013.
