For the first time, a pig’s kidney was transplanted to a human successfully. The procedure was performed on a patient with brain death and signs of kidney failure.

For decades, scientists have been working on the possibility of using animal organs in transplants but haven't been able to achieve it without causing an immediate rejection by the immune system.

For this process, researchers have found a solution: They altered the genes of a pig so their tissue wouldn’t include a molecule that is known for causing an immediate rejection. During 3 days the kidney was connected to veins and arteries of the patient, the organ was kept outside the body.

Doctor Robert Montgomery, who led the surgery, told The New York Times that the fact the organ worked outside the body was a strong indicator that it will also work inside of it. Stating “there didn’t seem to be any kind of incompatibility between the pig kidney and the human that would make it not work. There wasn’t immediate rejection of the kidney.”

Surgeons still have many questions to answer due to the effects and long-term functionality of the transplant, but they are optimistic. According to them, it’s a giant breakthrough to be able to create this path that will help in the shortage of human organs needed for transplantation.

What do you think about transplanting animal organs to human beings? 🐷
