The Future of Kidney Transplants: The Potential of Pig Organs
2023 was a really big year for advancements in kidney transplantation and today we are going to discuss something that may sound wild to you - pig kidneys in humans.
This leads to a lot of questions that this week's video is going to cover:
How would a pig kidney even work in the human body?
Why pigs?
If you have kidney disease, would you accept a pig kidney to get off dialysis?
The United States needs more kidneys. There were over 90,000 people on the kidney transplant list in 2023 and only 15,927 kidney transplants were done that year. Every year thousands more are added to that list, so scientists have been hard at work to find other solutions. Watch this video to find out more and about the exciting trials done at NYU Langone Health and the University of Birmingham.

Working as a kidney doctor, I found that my patients were often unaware of just how important diet and lifestyle were and how often they felt unsupported by generic advice to “eat healthy”. The home cook in me hated hearing this, so I set out to find a better way.
I began to combine my medical training and love of food, making videos of simple recipes that were based on science and packed with flavor. Instead of just saying “eat healthy” to my patients, I could give them the resources they needed to make a real difference in their health.
