If she'd be 100 by now then the kidney is too. She was 52 at transplantation in 1978.

a kidney being 100 is nothing new as people age over 100 regularly. I guess its some combination of bio age, transplantation age which marks the record?

Right. She was 52 when she donated it to her son and it's been 48 years since the transplant date.
