Single mother's transplanted organ failed after 20 years: Aleksandra needs a kidney again
Aleksandra Simić (42) was diagnosed with a primary kidney disease (N18.5 Morbus renalis chronicus, gradus 5) VUR at the age of six, which is why Aleksandra was on a regular hemodialysis program from 1990 to 1997.
TL;DR
- Aleksandra Simić, 42, has a history of chronic kidney disease diagnosed at age six.
- She received a cadaveric kidney transplant at 21, which functioned for 20 years.
- A respiratory infection in December 2025 led to the failure of the transplanted kidney.
