Aunt's heroic donation saves nephew as UAE doctors perform youngest infant liver transplant
A five-month old 4.4-kilogramme Emirati boy, stricken with a rare unpreventable recessive X disorder, and the youngest recipient of a donated liver in the UAE, courtesy of his 37-year-old paternal aunt, shall now be on lifelong monitoring and treatment. Fifth child Ahmed Al Yassi is recuperating at the Burjeel Medical City-Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (BMC-PICU) since his April 4, 2025 12-hour ultra-delicate transplantation. His giant strength, and his family's and the medical team's indefatigability, serve as an inspiring testimony for the August 13 'World Organ Donation Day." The WODD 2025 theme is 'Answering the Call,' for the continuous correct information dissemination on the necessity to grant one's organ/s to save lives. In the UAE, since 2017, is the Ministry of Health and Prevention-spearheaded National Programme for Donation and Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissues-Hayat Programme. According to a press statement, quoting undersecretary, Dr. Mohammed Salim Al Olama, it has been boosted with advanced digital solutions and artificial intelligence that guarantees transparency and efficiency at every stage of organ donation and transplantation process. Its website as of 4:30 p.m. of August 13 had '37,298 registered donors.' From a press statement quoting Department of Health-Abu Dhabi undersecretary Dr. Noura Khamis Al Ghaithi, 1,380 transplantations, through the Hayat Programme, were carried out from 2017 to 2024. The 2024 were at 290: seven heart, 142 kidney, 117 liver, 22 lung, and two pancreas. Over at BMC, elated was Ahmed's father Yahya: 'My baby's recovery is nothing short of a miracle. We were once a family living in fear of losing another child due to a liver problem. I hope our story inspires others to come forward, to learn more, and consider becoming donors. You never know whose life might change.' Abdominal Transplant and Hepato-Pancreatic Biliary surgeon Dr. Johns Shaji Mathew confirmed that Ahmed shall receive 'lifetime monitoring and therapy that includes immunosuppressive medications to prevent organ rejection, while the transplant on Ahmed has resolved the liver-related complications.' 'Ahmed will be regularly supervised by liver and genetics specialists for ongoing evaluation,' added Mathew, among the multi-disciplinary team members, led by Burjeel Abdominal Multi-Organ Transplant Programme-Transplant Surgery director Dr. Gourab Sen. The other on-case Transplant Team were Anaesthesia Division chairperson Dr. Ramamurthy Baskaran and specialists Dr. George Jacob and Dr. Anshu S., and Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) consultant Dr. Kesava Ramakrishnan. Their advice: 'urgent transplantation.' Ahmed's health debilitated due to the rise of his liver enzymes immediately birth. His diagnostics demonstrated that he is afflicted with ATP6AP1-Congenital Disorder of Glycosylation (ATP6AP1-CDG). Instrumental were the 'family's conviction' and the bravery-cum-volunteerism of mother-of-five Haifaa, Yahya's sister-in-law, who passed all compatibility tests. She and Ahmed are A+ blood type. Mathew said: 'The family's conviction came from the fact that without a transplant, Ahmed's survival chances were extremely low. They already experienced the loss of an older son to similar complications, which made them determined not to lose another.' 'The doctors gave us new hope. My sister-in-law gave us life again,' said Yahya. The USA-headquartered public-private-supported Frontiers in Congenital Disorders of Glycosylation (FCDG) portal notes that ATP6AP1-CDG generally affects males at one every one million. Ahmed has so far become the 31st survivor. There are 30 in other countries. The oldest patient is age 67. ATP6AP1-CDG 'age onset' range from the mother's pregnancy to age two, notes the Orphanet Knowledge on Rare Diseases and Orphan Drugs. From the FCDG, patients 'may have variable degree of liver dysfunction and immunodeficiency with recurrent infections.' Impaired-ness include developmental delays; abnormal body movement; gastrointestinal, urinary and genital problems; congenital heart defects and blood syndromes. So far, the solution is 'liver transplantation which has been successful in patients with severe liver failure.' Mathew said decreased transmission would only be via 'genetic screening and pre-marital genetic counselling to identify carriers and inform reproductive decisions for families with a known history.' Ahmed's family history has 'his grandfather passed on in 2010 due to a liver disease.' From the BMC Transplant Team that encourages a well-informed community on organ donation and transplantation: 'Ahmed's survival underscores the transformative power of organ donation and the advanced capabilities we now have in the UAE to perform complex, high-stakes surgeries for even the tiniest patients. Liver transplantation is not just surgical procedure; it is a second chance at life for those with no other options.'

'Nothing short of a miracle': Baby Ahmed youngest in UAE to get liver transplant
A five-month-old Emirati boy has become the youngest in the country to receive a liver transplant after an aunt's lifesaving donation. Ahmed Yahya's liver was failing because of a rare genetic condition. As doctors appealed for a suitable living donor, time was running out for Ahmed until his 36-year-old aunt volunteered to help. Parents Yahya and Zainab Al Yassi had experienced tragedy before, when their first son succumbed to a similar condition. Ahmed's fight depended on the good fortune of finding a genetic match to ensure his 4.4kg body would not reject a donor organ. Now, to mark World Organ Donation Day on August 13, Ahmed's family and the doctors are talking about the operations that saved his life. 'I still remember the pain when we lost our first son to liver disease,' said Mr Al Yassi. 'When we heard our second son had a similar problem, I thought this was our destiny. But the doctors gave us new hope. And my sister-in-law, she gave us life again. My baby's recovery is nothing short of a miracle.' Unbreakable bond Ahmed's aunt, who had never considered becoming a donor, immersed herself in research and discussions with the transplant team. 'I read everything I could find,' she said. 'I realised that donating part of my liver could save his life, and I knew I had to do it. It's a bond that nothing in this world can break.' Doctors first raised concern when they recorded high liver enzymes shortly after Ahmed was born. Doctors at Burjeel Medical City (BMC) diagnosed him with an ATP6AP1-related congenital disorder of glycosylation, a disorder so rare there are fewer than 25 known cases worldwide. Ahmed's aunt – the wife of his father's brother – volunteered and discovered she was a perfect match. Doctors rushed both to surgery. Ahmed, and his brother, were named in honour of their grandfather, who died in 2010 from liver disease. As Ahmed was so young, the procedure proved to be one of the most technically challenging paediatric surgeries conducted in the Gulf region, said doctors who performed the surgery in April. 'This disease is a severe, multisystem condition that particularly affects the liver,' said Dr Johns Shaji Mathew, abdominal transplant and hepato pancreatico biliary surgeon at BMC. 'In Ahmed's case, the disorder was progressing rapidly towards liver failure. Given the rarity of the condition, there were no clear answers, only tough questions. Yet we had to act.' Rare condition Congenital disorders of glycosylation (CDG) affect the healthy function of cells. A chemical malfunction results in a number of serious health problems such as liver disease, abnormal bleeding, seizures and heart problems. Doctors prepared a graft from the donor to fit Ahmed. In total, the complex surgery took 12 hours. Despite the high-risk nature of the operation and the boy's fragile condition, the surgery was a success. Ahmed began feeding within days, and his liver function was excellent. He now belongs to about two dozen survivors through transplantation. 'In an infant this tiny, every structure is delicate beyond imagination, each vessel was thinner than a matchstick, and the margin for error was virtually zero,' said Dr Gourab Sen, director of transplant surgery at the Burjeel Abdominal Multi-Organ Transplant Programme. 'The surgery required not only technical expertise but constant focus, as we were working in millimetres, sometimes even fractions of a millimetre. 'It is not just a surgical procedure, it is micromillimetre craftsmanship performed under extreme pressure, with every member of the team synchronising perfectly to keep the child stable throughout.' Since the launch of Hayat – the National Programme for Donation and Transplantation of Human Organs and Tissue – in 2017, a total of 1,090 organ transplants have been performed across the Emirates until 2024, with 290 during the past year alone. The 2024 list included seven heart transplants, 142 kidney transplants, 117 liver transplants, 22 lung transplants, and two pancreas transplants. Inspirational story These achievements are made possible by four leading transplant centres, including Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Khalifa Medical City (SKMC), Burjeel Medical City (BMC), and Sheikh Shakhbout Medical City (SSMC). Mr Al Yassi said he hoped his son's success may encourage more people to consider becoming organ donors. 'We were once a family living in fear of losing another child, but now we are celebrating a second chance at life,' he said. 'I hope our story inspires others to come forward, to learn more, and to consider becoming donors. You never know whose life you might change.'

Youngest Emirati baby undergoes liver transplant in Abu Dhabi
13 Aug 2025 08:28 A. SREENIVASA REDDY (ABU DHABI)An Abu Dhabi hospital has set a national record by performing a liver transplant on the youngest Emirati Ahmed Yahya, Yahya and Zainab Al Yassi's fifth child and first surviving son, was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition affecting his liver and other vital systems. Doctors at Burjeel Medical City (BMC) linked the case to an ATP6AP1-related congenital disorder of glycosylation, an ultra-rare genetic disorder with fewer than 25 known cases worldwide. 'This disease is a severe, multisystem condition that particularly affects the liver. In Ahmed's case, the disorder was progressing rapidly toward liver failure,' said Dr Johns Shaji Mathew, Abdominal Transplant and Hepato-Pancreatico-Biliary Surgeon at the baby's condition critical, the family sought a living donor to avoid delay. Hope came from within the family when the wife of his father's brother volunteered and, remarkably, proved a perfect match. The donor is not biologically related to the child. As Dr Mathew told Aletihad: 'Liver transplantation can be performed from a living donor who is not biologically related to the recipient, provided there is blood group compatibility.'The transplant, described as one of the most technically challenging paediatric surgeries conducted in the region, was carried out at BMC on April 4, 2025 and led by Dr Gourab Sen, Director – Transplant Surgery, Burjeel Abdominal Multi-Organ Transplant Program, and Dr Mathew. The team prepared a mono-segment graft to fit the infant's tiny abdominal cavity. Paediatric anaesthesia was managed by Dr Ramamurthy Baskaran, Division Chair of Anaesthesia, with Dr George Jacob and Dr Anshu S, while perioperative care in the PICU was overseen by Dr Kesava Ramakrishnan, Consultant, Paediatric Intensive Care Unit, and his team.'This was a precision operation that lasted 12 hours, including the donor and the recipient surgery. In an infant this tiny, every structure is delicate beyond imagination, each vessel was thinner than a matchstick, and the margin for error was virtually zero. The surgery required not only technical expertise but constant focus, as we were working in millimetres, sometimes even fractions of a millimetre,' said Dr. the graft to Aletihad, Dr. Mathew said: 'A small portion of the donor's left lateral segment — about 15% of the total liver volume — was used, which was appropriate because Ahmed was a small baby, weighing only 4.4 kg. He contrasted this with typical adult-to-adult procedures: 'In adult-to-adult living donor liver transplantation, the right lobe is usually used, comprising about 60–70% of the donor's liver. This is feasible because healthy individuals with good liver quality can maintain normal function with a remnant liver volume of at least 30–35%.'Despite the high-risk nature of the operation and the child's fragile condition, the surgery was a success. Ahmed was extubated soon after surgery, began feeding within days and has shown excellent liver function, according to clinicians involved in his care. He remains under close follow-up for growth, neurodevelopment and immune monitoring. The hospital said the successful transplant underscores the role of living donation and highly specialised paediatric transplant capability in the UAE, while the focus remains firmly on the child's recovery and long-term donor's recovery has also been positive. 'The donor is currently doing well. Such operations are possible because the liver has a unique ability to regenerate — not necessarily to its original anatomical shape, but to the functional volume the body requires. This regeneration occurs over weeks to months,' Dr. Mathew said. On likely recovery timelines, Dr. Mathew added: 'Although it is a major surgery with potential short- and long-term implications for the donor's quality of life, most donors return to normal daily activities within 1–3 months, assuming an uncomplicated recovery.' As World Organ Donation Day is observed on August 13 every year, Ahmed Yahya's survival from an ultra-rare genetic disorder underlines the life-saving impact of living organ donation.
