Uzbek Baby's Liver Transplant A Success!
21 Jan
Summary
- A one-year-old boy from Uzbekistan underwent a rare liver transplant.
- The boy suffered from Alagille syndrome, a genetic liver disorder.
- His father donated a part of his liver for the life-saving procedure.
Doctors at Max Super Speciality Hospital in Patparganj have achieved a remarkable success by treating a one-year-old boy from Uzbekistan suffering from Alagille syndrome. This rare genetic liver disorder required a complex living donor liver transplant, with the child's father stepping forward to donate a part of his liver.
The critical operation took place last October. Following the successful transplant, the young patient was discharged from the hospital a month later. During a recent follow-up appointment this month, doctors confirmed that the baby is recovering well and progressing positively.
Initially misdiagnosed, the child had been experiencing symptoms like jaundice and poor growth since birth. Detailed assessments at the hospital confirmed Alagille syndrome, a condition affecting multiple organs. The successful transplant offers the child a promising outlook for a healthier life.
