A two-year-old boy with primary hyperoxaluria, a rare genetic disorder, has successfully undergone a live donor mono-segment liver transplant at MGM Healthcare Malar in Chennai. While a kidney transplant was needed, doctors said correcting the liver defect first was essential to ensure proper kidney function. The multi-visceral transplant team, led by Anil Vaidya, chair and director, Institute of Multi-Visceral and Abdominal Organ Transplant, performed the procedure successfully. He will have a kidney transplant at a later stage. Treating the liver first ensures proper kidney function,” said Dr. Vaidya.
