BBC One - Matron, Medicine and Me, Series 2, Dr Rangan Chatterjee

Rangan Chatterjee reunites with those who cared for his father when he had kidney failure.

Rangan Chatterjee returns to Manchester to reunite with the team who cared for his father when he experienced kidney failure as a result of lupus.

Dr Rangan Chatterjee returns to Manchester to reunite with the NHS team who cared for his father, and he explores how the NHS has treated kidney disease through the years. Rangan's dad suffered from a condition known as lupus, which eventually led to kidney failure. As an Asian man, he was five times more likely to have renal failure, and like 64,000 people every year in the UK, he was in urgent need of dialysis and ultimately new kidneys. After undergoing dialysis 12 hours a week for 14 years and never receiving a transplant, Rangan's father passed away at Manchester Royal Infirmary.

Rangan returns for the first time to the ward where his dad was treated. In an emotional reunion with the NHS team who cared for him, he hears stories of his father's time there. But he also wants to find out how the NHS has changed through history when it comes to treating kidney disease. He meets the patients at Manchester Royal Infirmary who rely on dialysis to keep them alive and the patients trained by the NHS to dialyse at home.

But ultimately it is a transplant that can fundamentally change someone's life. Sadly Rangan's father never received a transplant, but Rangan meets the NHS patients whose lives have been completely transformed after receiving an organ.
