The 19-year-old man, who suffered a hepatic crisis and was transferred from Greece to Bulgaria on Sunday, will undergo a lifesaving transplantation of a liver.

On Sunday, the Greek authorities alarmed the Bulgarian Executive Agency for Transplantation that a young Bulgarian man, who had worked on the Greek island Corfu, had suffered a hepatic crisis as a result of acute hepatitis B.

The Bulgarian Health Ministry has organized the transportation of the young man from Thessaloniki, where the doctors have decided that he urgently needed a liver transplant, to Sofia.

On Monday, the municipality hospital in the Bulgarian city of Ruse has registered information for a new donor.

The doctors have established that a 43-year-old man with a cranial-cerebral trauma has slipped in a brain death. His relatives have given their consent for the use of organs for transplantation.

After the organs arrive in Sofia, the doctors will run an analysis of their condition.

The heart and two kidneys will also be tested in order to define potential recipients in immunological compatibility, clinical condition and other medical indicators.
