Dancehall selector Niko Chromatic, a member of the popular Chromatic sound system who is battling renal failure, could potentially get a lifesaving kidney from a close family member.
Tests are now being carried out to see whether the kidney being offered by the relative is a match.
“The relative wishes for it to remain silent, they don’t want to loud it up, they want it to remain anonymous,” a source close to the family said.
Niko has hit the US$22,000 mark on his medical fund GoFundme account as he tries to raise the US$50,000 needed for kidney transplant.
Earlier this month, the selector had been hospitalized after suffering complications associated with the illness.
Niko’s girlfriend, Kimberly Mais told Loop News at the time that the entertainer was taken to the University Hospital of the West Indies for routine dialysis when a blocked catheter was discovered. As a result, an emergency surgery was required, but the operation wasn’t conducted until more than 12 hours after, she said.
