Un paciente prescinde 9 meses de la diálisis con un riñón de cerdo hasta lograr uno humano

A 66-year-old man suffering from end-stage renal failure successfully lived without dialysis for a record-breaking nine months following the transplantation of a genetically modified pig kidney. The procedure served as a bridge treatment, allowing the patient to maintain function until a human kidney became available for transplant shortly after the porcine organ ceased to function.
