A patient with cystic fibrosis has undergone a quadruple-organ transplant at UChicago Medicine, a first of its kind in Illinois. The transplant involved lungs, liver, and kidney, with some reports also mentioning a fourth organ, although the specific details of the procedure vary. The patient is reportedly one of a small number of people in the US to have received such a transplant, with one outlet stating they are the sixth person in US history to receive transplanted lungs, liver, and kidney at the same time.
