During a three-year waiting period for a kidney transplant, Rastorguyev regularly underwent hemodialysis. Interestingly, his fans offered to become donors to expedite the process, but the artist declined, choosing to wait alongside other patients in need.

Gomez\u2019s relatives were not suitable as donors, and waiting was not an option. Then actress and Selena\u2019s friend Francia Raisa came to the rescue, who donated her kidney for transplantation. The operation was successful, and now Selena Gomez continues to work actively and release new hits.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row-full-width vc_clearfix\"><\/div><div class=\"vc_row-full-width-before\"><\/div><div id=\"vc_row-69e57dbdafc25\" data-vc-full-width=\"true\" data-vc-full-width-init=\"false\" class=\"vc_row wpb_row vc_row-fluid vc_custom_1707989702785 vc_row-has-fill vc_row-o-content-top vc_row-flex\"><script type=\"text\/javascript\">if (typeof(gem_fix_fullwidth_position) == \"function\") { gem_fix_fullwidth_position(document.getElementById(\"vc_row-69e57dbdafc25\")); }<\/script><div class=\"wpb_column vc_column_container vc_col-sm-12\"><div class=\"vc_column-inner\"><div class=\"wpb_wrapper\"><div\n\tclass=\"vc_icon_element vc_icon_element-outer vc_icon_element-align-center\">\n\t<div class=\"vc_icon_element-inner vc_icon_element-color-custom vc_icon_element-size-md vc_icon_element-style- vc_icon_element-background-color-grey\">\n\t\t<span class=\"vc_icon_element-icon far fa-question-circle\" style=\"color:#cfd7d4 !important\"><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\t<div class=\"wpb_text_column wpb_content_element  blog_moretext\" >\n\t\t<div class=\"wpb_wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR WANT TO KNOW MORE ABOUT<br \/>\nORGAN TRANSPLANTATION IN TURKEY:<\/h4>\n\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<div class=\"gem-button-container gem-button-position-center\"><a title=\"\u0422\u0440\u0430\u043d\u0441\u043f\u043b\u0430\u043d\u0442\u0430\u0446\u0438\u044f (\u043f\u0435\u0440\u0435\u0441\u0430\u0434\u043a\u0430) \u0432\u043d\u0443\u0442\u0440\u0435\u043d\u043d\u0438\u0445 \u043e\u0440\u0433\u0430\u043d\u043e\u0432 \u0432 \u0422\u0443\u0440\u0446\u0438\u0438\" class=\"gem-button gem-button-size-small gem-button-style-flat gem-button-text-weight-normal\" style=\"border-radius: 10px;background-color: #ca9e67;\" onmouseleave=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#ca9e67';\" onmouseenter=\"this.style.backgroundColor='#222222';\" href=\"https:\/\/www.askletion.com\/en\/transplantation\/\" target=\"_self\">LEARN ABOUT THE PROCEDURE<\/a><\/div> <\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"vc_row-full-width vc_clearfix\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Organ transplantation is an incredibly serious and complex surgical procedure.
