Michelle Oury has been having dialysis treatment for seven years

Michelle Oury's kidney failed as she gave birth to her daughter Shannon seven years ago.

But Ms Oury, who has to endure 12 hours of dialysis each week, cannot have a transplant because of antibodies in her system that would attack a new organ.

But doctors in Birmingham and Coventry hope they will be able to screen the antibodies out using the revolutionary blood washing treatment, pioneered in the US.

I think that she's going to die when she's on dialysis when I'm down in the living room Shannon Oury

Ms Oury, who has to raise �8,000 towards the cost of the operation, told the BBC's Midlands Today programme that she is desperate for a new kidney so that she can stop having dialysis treatment.

"I just hate it. I can't wait to be off it. After seven years I've had enough. It's my life really.

"Sometimes you spend days looking at the clock and it seems not to be going down."

Ms Oury's daughter Shannon is not a fan of her mother's dialysis treatment either.

"I think that she's going to die when she's on dialysis when I'm down in the living room."

Ms Oury's brother Toby has offered her one of his kidneys if the blood washing procedure is a success.

"I've seen the way my sister's lived for seven years and I wouldn't wish that upon anyone.

"If I have a chance to change that and give her the life she's wanted for so long then I'll do it."
