Caz inedit: Un bărbat a trăit nouă luni cu un rinichi de porc fără să aibă nevoie de dializă

A 66-year-old man lived for nine months without dialysis thanks to a genetically modified pig kidney, marking a significant advancement in xenotransplantation. This case offers hope for patients awaiting organ transplants, as donor organs are scarce. The pig kidney functioned effectively, allowing the patient to avoid dialysis while waiting for a human kidney transplant. After the pig kidney's functionality declined, he successfully received a human kidney from a deceased donor with high compatibility. Researchers suggest that genetically modified animal organs could serve as a bridge for patients facing long wait times for human organs, although caution is advised due to the limited scope of this study.
