The most difficult problem for transplant cases is paired - receiving bloodless blood so the transplantation is easy to occur. Also because of different bloodlines, only about 25% organized between donors and recipients.

From now until the surgery, the baby needs to be strengthened to be able to increase daily 10g of pigment per liter of blood. And Mr. T. also need to foster more because his body is a bit thin.

Reportedly, Mr. T. had a voluntary application to donate organs to the Central Children Hospital since the beginning of this year. Previously, he once asked for voluntary kidney donation but not yet, so this time he was very eager to donate his liver and save his life.

Also according to Dr. Nguyen Van Loc, since the Law on donation, organ transplantation has been effective, the Central Children 's Hospital has received 3 applications of voluntary donation.
