Scot who lost legs to meningitis has life transformed by mum's 'shared' kidney donation
12.12.2022 - 18:07 / dailyrecord.co.uk
A woman who suffered acute kidney failure has been given a new lease of life after a living donation made possible by her mother and a stranger.
Seyda Oates, from Glasgow, contracted bacterial meningitis in 2019 and went on to suffer acute kidney failure. She was given a 5% perfect survival rate and had to undergo double leg amputation to save her life.
The 24-year-old was put on haemodialysis to help her kidneys function and was put on the waiting list for a transplant in late 2020.

Five months on from her own transplant in July 2022, the 24-year-old has spoken of her gratitude to her mother, who donated to the person she anonymously matched with a month later.
She said: “From my mum’s perspective, she was just focused on helping me. She is living with one kidney, for me. I know most parents would do anything to stop their kids suffering, but I’ll never stop being grateful.
“I don’t know who donated their kidney to me, but I matched this angel. The early signs are good, I have a good kidney which will hopefully last me for the rest of my life. It’s just awesome, and I hope on some level they know what they’ve done for me.
“When I came round from my surgery, I couldn’t sleep because I had so much energy and that’s not
