Doctors transplanted pig kidney in brain dead man and it working for a month

Doctors have successfully transplanted a pig’s kidney into a brain-dad. The kidney continued to work in a normal manner for more than a month. Doctors are expected to try such surgery in the future even in serious patients. Scientists from all over the world are doing experiments in which animal organs should be used to save human life. In the current case, the pig’s cardony continued to work in the human body for a month and the doctors are about to track how the kidney performs for the second month.

South China Morning Post Report According to, doctors still feel that it is really acting like a human organ. Dr. Robert Montgomery, director of the NYU Langon Transplant Institute, said that on July 14, his team replaced the kidney of a dead person genetically from a single kidney of the pig.

Doctors noticed that the kidney immediately started producing urin. Doctors believe that in the future pig kidneys can be repaired in seriously sick patients. This transplant will also meet the lack of kidneys.

News agency AP Report According to, Maurice “Mo”, a resident of New York, suddenly became brain dead due to brain cancer at the age of 57. The family donated his body. His family says that Maurice always wanted to help others. Students will read about them in medical books in future.
