Donor stars found! Rastorguev, Gomez and other stars who received organ transplants

In 2015, the leader of the Lube group fell ill with pneumonia, which caused kidney complications. Since then, he has been waiting for an organ donor and regularly undergoes hemodialysis. Interestingly, fans offered him their own kidneys, but Rastorguev refused and waited for his turn, which came in February 2018. The operation was successful, and since then Nikolai has had no health problems.

The singer has suffered from the autoimmune disease lupus since childhood. The disease caused kidney complications and required a transplant. The waiting list for a donor in the United States is very long: Selena could wait for an organ in 10 years, and during that time she would have to go to the hospital for dialysis.

Fortunately, her friend and former neighbor Francia Raisa was the only person who matched as a donor. She agreed to donate a kidney to Selena and literally saved her life in 2017.

The Modern Family star has been suffering from kidney dysplasia for many years. In 2012, her own father donated a kidney to her… but then it was rejected. As a result, Sarah needed a second transplant in 2017, and this time her own brother became the donor. Since then, the actress has been speaking openly about her experiences and encouraging others not to hide their health problems.

The entrepreneur and innovator suffered from pancreatic cancer for many years, from which he eventually died. But few people know that in 2009 he underwent a liver transplant. To this day, it is not known how he managed to “jump” from the queue and who became the donor, but unfortunately this operation did not help him: he died a year later.

The actor from the series Criminal Minds and Homeland learned of an unpleasant diagnosis in the 90s – keratoconus, which caused him to rapidly lose his sight. He had to undergo a transplant of both corneas, after which the situation improved, but he will have to wear glasses for the rest of his life.

The “The Office” and “Shaun of the Dead” actress underwent a routine checkup that revealed she had kidney failure. She waited for a transplant, but eventually agreed to an organ donated by her own mother. Since then, the actress has been doing well.

The son of Robert Redford and a relatively well-known director, he survived a transplant twice. Due to complications from ulcerative colitis, he had to agree to a liver transplant, and a few years later – again. Redford later made a documentary about the generosity of people who share organs.
