First UK patient to receive all major organ transplants dies at 46

Allison Angell, the first person in the UK to receive all major organ transplants, has died at age 46. She underwent a series of surgeries over 11 years due to cystic fibrosis, which she was born with. Angell had a liver transplant at 17, followed by heart and lung transplants. Her father donated a kidney after she developed kidney failure. She was recognized for her bravery and pursued a career in medicine. Cystic fibrosis is a genetic condition that causes thick mucus to build up in organs, leading to severe health issues. It primarily affects the lungs and liver, causing frequent infections and breathing difficulties.
