#GeneticallyModified #pig #kidney keeps man alive for record nine months
Organ kept Tim Andrews off #dialysis and acted as a ‘bridge’ while he waited for a human #transplant
He had end-stage kidney disease caused by type 2 #diabetes and had only a 9% chance of receiving a human kidney within 5yr, and more than 40% risk of dying or being removed from waiting list. Kidney transplantation provides best survival and quality of life but demand for organs far exceeds supply.

I’m astounded by the compassion people show on this platform. It means so much.

I’m 37, living in Oregon with end-stage kidney disease, and urgently need a living kidney donor. My blood type is A+. NKR covers all donor costs—travel, lodging, medical, and time off work across the US.
