A TEENAGER'S life has been saved after a kidney was donated by his aunt.
Cameron Sprott, 15, of Bonnyrigg, Midlothian, was born with a diseased horseshoe kidney, which doctors recently discovered was functioning at just 10% capacity.
His mother Elaine, 50, tried to donate her own organ but, despite her blood being a perfect match, it was soon discovered that its function was not good enough for the procedure to go ahead.
