United Therapeutics Performs First Successful UKidney Transplant on November 25, 2024; Alabama Woman Recovers After Eight Years of Dialysis
Dec 17, 2024, 01:19 PM
United Therapeutics Corporation has announced the successful transplant of the world's first UKidney into a living person, marking a significant milestone in organ transplantation. The procedure took place on November 25, 2024, and the first living recipient of the UKidney is currently recovering well. This innovative transplant is part of ongoing advancements in xenotransplantation, where organs from genetically modified animals are used to address organ shortages in humans. The development follows the recent success of a pig kidney transplant, which has provided hope for patients seeking alternatives to dialysis, including an Alabama woman who is recovering well after receiving a pig kidney last month.
