Demi-Lee Brennan, 15, suffered from liver failure and received a liver transplant when she was 9, Brennan told local media: ' This is really the second chance of life in life ' when recounting the body Her achievement of what doctors think is the miracle of transplant surgery. " This is unbelievable ."
Brennan's blood group switched from O- to O + when she was ill because of the new anti-immune immune system.
The transplanted liver stem cells attacked her bone marrow to control her entire immune system and she no longer needed anti-rejection drugs.
Doctors from Children's Hospital Westmead, Sydney, said they had no explanation for Brennan's recovery. Michael Stormon, pediatric liver specialist, spoke on local radio: 'There is no precedent for this case.'
Stuart Dorney, the former head of the hospital's transplant department, said that Brennan's treatment could be a breakthrough in transplant treatment, since the recipient's immune system normally attacks the chalk's cells. graft.'We need to review all that has happened to Demi-Lee, find out the cause, and see if the process is renewable.' He told the Daily Telegraph: 'We think that because we use a person's liver, Demi-Lee has a low white blood component. That may be a reason. '
Discharge is often treated with a variety of drugs although chronic elimination is inevitable. Only 7 out of 10 organ transplants in Australia succeeded after 5 years because of the problems of rejection.
