MGM Healthcare Malar, Adyar has successfully performed a complex liver transplant on a two-year-old boy weighing just nine kilograms after his liver failed to produce essential enzymes to clear harmful metabolic waste substances known as oxalates, produced excessively due to a rare genetic disorder, leading to kidney stones and subsequent kidney failure. Following the surgery, the child’s kidney function has improved; while he is no longer dependent on dialysis, a kidney transplant will be required at a later stage.

The young boy was admitted to MGM Healthcare Malar, Adyar with symptoms such as severe vomiting and poor physical growth. He was diagnosed with advanced kidney failure and required peritoneal dialysis, a type of dialysis that uses the lining of the abdomen. Further investigations traced the condition to primary oxaluria, a rare genetic disorder that caused excessive production of oxalates in the body. A deficiency of key liver enzymes prevented the clearance of these oxalates, allowing them to accumulate and form kidney stones.

The boy required a kidney transplant; however, without first correcting the liver’s condition, a new kidney would not function properly and the underlying disease would persist, making a liver transplant a crucial prerequisite for treating his renal condition. The procedure was made possible by the boy’s grandmother, who served as the living donor. Live Donor Mono-Segment Liver transplant was performed and uneventful, and the child’s recovery has been smooth and rapid.

This eliminated the need for dialysis after the transplant, and he is scheduled to undergo a kidney transplant in the coming months.
