First Pig Kidney Transplant Trial In Japan Could Happen As Early As 2028

Clinical trials of pig kidney transplants to humans could start as early as 2028 in two specific hospitals in Japan, according to a news report by Kyodo News. This one-of-a-kind development, if successful, could help Japan address the shortage of organ donors.

It should be recalled that a recipient of a pig kidney in the United States survived a record-breaking 271 days before the organ had to be removed. Over a hundred thousand people in America are currently waiting for organ transplants and most of them in need of kidneys.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the report of Kyodo News. Some parts in boldface…

A Japanese startup said Monday it will conduct clinical trials of pig kidney transplants to humans at two hospitals as early as 2028, which if successful would likely make them the first of their kind in the country.

It is hoped that organ transplants from pigs to humans will address the shortage of organ donors in Japan. Pig kidney transplants have previously been carried out on a trial basis in the United States and China.

According to the Meiji University venture, PorMedTec, the kidneys, which have been genetically modified to prevent organ rejection, will be transplanted at Hokkaido University Hospital in Sapporo and Shonan Kamakura General Hospital in Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture.

“We want to lay the foundation of xenotransplantation in Japan,” Hiroshi Nagashima, a Meiji University professor and representative director of the company, said in a press release, referring to the surgical transfer of non-human animals’ organs to human recipients.

The startup imports genetically modified pig cells developed by U.S. biotechnology company eGenesis Inc. and produces pigs with the same features in Japan. The genes of the animal have been modified in 69 areas to prevent organs from being rejected by recipients’ bodies.

The Japanese firm said it will finalize plans for the clinical trial and hopes to promote the widespread use of the treatment for patients with severe kidney failure once manufacturing and marketing approval is granted.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: What is your reaction to this development? What is the first thing you think of when it comes to transplanting animal organs into human bodies? Are you concerned that kidneys from pigs are not 100% compatible with humans? How many members of your local community suffer from kidney-related problems?

Swansea Solicitor’s wait for Kidney Transplant highlights urgent need for Organ Donors

Brendan, who turns 60 next month, was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease in 2021 after routine blood tests flagged concerns during a GP registration. What began as a quiet warning soon escalated into a life-changing reality.

“We only learnt of Brendan’s poor kidneys when registering with a new GP,” said his wife, Christine. “Routine tests were done on both of us, and Brendan’s results saw him referred to the kidney clinic at Morriston Hospital. A couple of years later, his kidney function worsened, and he was referred to the transplant centre in Cardiff.”

By October 2024, Brendan was officially placed on the transplant list. Christine had hoped to become a living donor, but was told she wasn’t suitable. Despite the diagnosis, Brendan has remained active — continuing to run regularly, though his doctors have advised him to scale back.

“The Swansea Half Marathon in June was Brendan’s last long-distance run,” Christine said. “He found it tough and had to walk a lot. But staying fit is important to him — it’s part of how he copes.”

A Growing Crisis

Brendan’s story is one of thousands. According to the Organ and Tissue Donation and Transplantation Activity Report, 8,096 patients were on the active transplant list as of 31 March 2025, with another 3,883 temporarily suspended due to illness or availability. Around 80% of those waiting need a kidney.

Last year, 463 patients died waiting, and 911 were removed from the list due to deteriorating health. While 235 people in Wales received transplants — up from 207 the year before — the number of deceased donors across the UK fell by 7%, and transplants dropped by 2%.

In Wales, there was a modest increase in deceased donors — 73 people donated after death, compared to 65 the previous year — but consent rates remain low at 57%, meaning many families still choose not to proceed with donation.

“Make Your Wishes Known”

Christine is now urging others to register their decision and talk to loved ones.

“Your death is going to be a difficult time for your family,” she said. “Save them from having to ask, ‘Would he or she have wanted to be an organ donor?’ Register and tell them your wishes.”

Under Wales’s opt-out system, donation can still only go ahead with family support — making conversations about organ donation more important than ever.

NHS Calls for Action

Anthony Clarkson, Director of Organ and Tissue Donation and Transplantation, said:

“We are facing an incredibly concerning situation. More people than ever are waiting, but fewer donations are taking place. Tragically, someone will die today waiting for a transplant.”

He added that 60% of people who donated after death were on the NHS Organ Donor Register, making family conversations easier and more likely to result in donation.

The NHS is now working to modernise the Organ Donor Register, clarify the law, and invest in new technologies to improve transplant success rates — including research into drugs that protect kidneys during the transplant process.

To register your decision or learn more, visit the NHS Organ Donation website, call 0300 123 23 23, or use the NHS app.
