[Pig kidney transplant has survived for a record 285 days, which may become a "life bridge" for patients with end-stage renal disease waiting for a kidney transplant] September 4th, as of September 3, local time in the United States, a kidney disease patient who received a genetically modified pig kidney transplant had survived for 285 days without the need for dialysis, setting a record for the longest survival after a human received a pig kidney transplant. Previously, a patient who received a similar transplant survived for 271 days and later received a human donor kidney. The above cases show that genetically modified pig kidneys may play a "bridge" role before human kidney transplants are available: patients can temporarily rely on genetically modified pig kidneys to maintain their lives while waiting for a human kidney transplant, thereby getting rid of the physical burden caused by dialysis.
