In the United States, a woman removed a genetically modified pig kidney, which was transplanted in April. The organ began to lose its ability to function, CNN reported yesterday.

It is indicated that 54-year-old Lisa Pisano from New Jersey has heart and kidney problems. On April 4, he was fitted with a ventricular assist device, and on April 12, he received a genetically modified pig kidney and thymus gland. The woman became the second patient in the world to undergo such an intervention on her kidney.

After 47 days, the kidney had to be removed due to “unique challenges in managing his cardiovascular health and kidney function.”

“There are some cases where the blood pressure provided by the ventricular assist device is insufficient to ensure optimal renal perfusion, resulting in a cumulative decline in renal function,” said Robert Montgomery, director of New York University Transplant Institute .

After a recent kidney biopsy, doctors found no signs of rejection, but the organ was damaged due to insufficient blood flow, he said.

Currently, Lisa Pisano’s condition is stable and she is undergoing dialysis, a blood purification method used for kidney failure.

The channel says that xenotransplantation – the transfer of animal organs to humans – is critical to solving the problem of organ shortage. For this purpose, doctors edit the genes so that the human body does not recognize the organs as foreign and does not reject them.

We remind you that on May 12 it became known that the first person who received a pig kidney transplant died in the United States. 62-year-old Richard Sleiman lived with the transplanted organ for almost two months.
