The Hindu
Patient was suffering from rare disorder
Doctors at a private hospital in Chennai said they recently pulled off a combined liver and kidney transplant from live donors for a 12-year-old boy suffering from a rare genetic disorder.
The boy from Bengaluru was suffering from primary hyperoxaluria type-II, where the liver cannot regulate the excessive build up of oxalate in kidneys and other vital organs of the body. Due to renal failure caused by the disease, the boy was already undergoing dialysis thrice a week.
According to a press release from Gleneagles Global Health City (GGHC), when the patient was brought by his parents, his condition demanded a combined liver and kidney transplant as the problem was primarily in the liver. While the boy’s mother donated a kidney, his aunt donated a part of her liver.
