A Russian man, Semen Gendler, given a liver transplant by an African-American donor has claimed the operation is turning his skin black. Gendler, from Krasnodar, southwest Russia, urgently needed the transplant after being diagnosed with hepatitis C and cancer. Doctors said his only hope was a liver transplant, and after contacting business partners in the USA, Gendler flew there for the life-saving operation. He was given the liver of an unnamed, 38-year-old African-American man for the transplant, which reportedly cost him around £325,000. Reports claimed Mr Gendler obtained a liver transplant after paying the large sum in the U.S, where the operations can be agreed more quickly than in Russia. Gendler said the transplant initially gave him ‘a new lease of life’, but was then told by a work colleague that his skin ‘seemed to be changing colour’.
