Patient Reports – What is it like to live with a deceased person’s organ?

Date:

Today Angelika Widhalm (69) can smile again. But there was a time when her life hung by a thread. The woman from Vienna was saved by a liver transplant. In the ‘Krone’ interview, she talks about how she is doing with the strange organ and where those affected can get help.

“crown”: Mrs. Widhalm, how did your severe liver disease come about?
Angelika Widhalm: In my 30s I lost a baby and got a blood supply at the time. As a result, however, I became infected with hepatitis C, but no one knew that. That was in 1979. Doctors only accidentally discovered it 15 years later. I felt really bad then, I was already in big trouble, but nobody put their bets on the liver.
