For the first time in the world, the simultaneous transplantation of lungs and liver from living donors was performed at Kyoto University Hospital. The patient is a 10-year-old boy.

In Japan, doctors performed the world’s first simultaneous lung and liver transplant from living donors. This was reported by The Japan Times.

It is known that the patient is a 10-year-old boy with a genetic disease. He received part of his parents’ lungs and part of his grandfather’s liver.

The child had congenital dyskeratosis – a genetic disease accompanied by abnormal skin development, damage to the mucous membrane, bone marrow failure and a tendency to malignant neoplasms.

At the age of two, the boy developed aplastic anemia – the bone marrow stopped producing a sufficient number of blood cells. And at the age of 4 years, he received a bone marrow transplant from his sister.

Later, he developed cirrhosis of the liver and developed a condition in which the arteries and veins of the lungs coalesce, preventing the body from absorbing oxygen.

Two and a half months after the transplant, the child was able to walk without an oxygen tank. After another month, he was discharged from the hospital for further recovery.

It was previously reported that the first heart transplant took place in Poltava.

In Japan, scientists raised the first pigs for human organ transplantation
