Doctors said that the patient lived a record 130 days with a pig’s kidney, but the organ was forced to remove due to the rejection process.
On Dialysis, Luni has been in 2016, her body could not take a standard kidney due to abnormalities. After the pork transplantation in the clinic in New York, she lived without dialysis for three and a half months, the agency notes. Now she returned home to Gadsden and returned to dialysis again.
Journalists note that 53-year-old Luni after transplantation called herself a “superfluorous”.
The woman’s doctor, Dr. Robert Montgomery from the University of New York, said that the kidney rejection is being clarified. According to him, there was an option to try to give patients a higher dose of anti -spinning drugs, but this option for saving life was more risky than removing the pork bud.
According to the agency, shortly before the start of the rejection of the transplanted kidney, Luni suffered an infection associated with its dialysis, and taking drugs against rejection had to be modeled, and this could be one of the factors in the deterioration of the situation.
Doctors intend to carry out pork kidney transplantation to patients with less health problems, Media reports.
AP writes that in the USA in line for transplantation costs more than 100 thousand people, and most of them need the kidneys. They are not enough, and “thousands die” without waiting for the organ for transplantation.
Previously, genetically modified pork buds transplanted other people, but two of them have already died, having lived with new organs for only two months.
One man who comes from the state of New Hampshire was transplanted in January, and he still feels good.
