Now the news continues.
The kidneys of a two-day-old baby have been successfully transplanted into a girl dying of chronic renal failure, making the infant the youngest organ donor in China.
The newborn had died from neonatal respiratory distress and lung infection, and her parents decided to donate her kidneys.
Doctors were able to transplant the less than four-centimeter-long kidneys into a nine-year-old girl from central China's Hunan Province. The girl had kidney disease since she was a toddler, which had affected her development.
Kidney transplants for young patients are a challenge due to the complexity of the operation and the tiny blood vessels involved.
The new kidneys will continue to grow inside the receiver over the next three months.
