Rugby star in search of a donor
Former All Blacks winger Jonah Lomu faces a second kidney transplant after the failure of the donated organ he received in a 2004 operation.
The 36-year-old retired star said he is seeking a new donor to provide a replacement.
In the meantime, he faces seven-hour dialysis treatments three times a week.
Lomu’s international rugby career ended in 2002 after 63 test matches, largely due to ill health. He developed nephrotic syndrome, a degenerative kidney disorder, and in 2004 received a transplanted kidney donated by New Zealand radio personality Grant Kereama.
