The University of Toledo Medical Center admits a nurse threw away a teen's kidney before it could be transplanted into his sister last year, but nevertheless is asking a state court to dismiss a lawsuit filed by the family. Last August, Fudacz, 24 at the time and with end-state renal failure, was under anesthesia and ready to receive a perfect-match kidney donated by her 17-year-old brother, Paul Fudacz, Jr. But the transplant operation was stopped when nurse accidently threw away the donor organ, which was stored in a protective slush, according to legal papers. UTMC eventually was able to arrange another kidney for Sarah A. Fudacz, and she had a successful operation in Denver last November
