A woman who desperately needed a transplant had her life saved after her friend gave her a kidney.
Lois Denham, from Paisley, was diagnosed with polycystic kidney disease when she was just eight. The hereditary disorder causes cysts to develop on the kidneys reducing their function.
During a check-up in 2020, Lois was informed she had kidney failure and her function was down to just 10 per cent. Medics told the 50-year-old that they would monitor her monthly but said she would eventually need a transplant.
