Faustão is hospitalized with kidney problems and must undergo a new transplant

Presenter Faustão was admitted to the Israelita Albert Einstein hospital, in São Paulo, this Monday (26), and must undergo a new transplant. According to information from Alpha FM radio, he should receive a new kidney soon.

The communicator underwent a heart transplant in August 2023. Since September, the professional underwent dialysis, around three times a week, to remove fluid from the body. With the organ damaged due to heart failure problems, the presenter must join the transplant queue once again.

At 73 years old, Faustão had priority in the procedure and quickly received a new organ. After the surgery, he underwent several clinical evaluations to check the functionality of the new heart and the rejection rates, which must be constantly monitored.
