The world's longest chain of organ donations has been completed in the US, with 30 patients receiving a kidney from 30 living donors.
The chain connected people who had wanted to donate a kidney to a family member or friend, but were incompatible, with a suitable stranger.
Their loved one then received a kidney from someone else along the chain.
The complicated process lasted for four months and involved 17 hospitals across 11 states.
