New Zealand media is reporting that All Blacks great Jonah Lomu has been released from hospital 16 days after being admitted for kidney failure.
Lomu has been receiving dialysis treatment at Auckland Hospital since September 25 when the kidney he received in a 2004 transplant operation began to fail.
The 35-year-old Lomu, who played 63 tests on the wing for the All Blacks between 1994 and 2002, was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome, a serious kidney disorder, in 1995.
Lomu went to hospital weeks after being featured in the opening ceremony for the Rugby World Cup. An Auckland Hospital spokesman told local media that Lomu had been discharged on Tuesday after being treated in the renal and liver transplant ward.
