Nose Ring Piercing Makes New York Woman Undergo a Life-Saving Liver Transplant
A New York mother has recovered from liver failure after a nose ring piercing turned into a life-threatening infection. Now, she’s warning people not to wait too long to see a doctor, even during a global pandemic.
Dana Smith, 37, from Queens, became terminally ill about a month after getting the piercing done around Thanksgiving last year, reported ABC7.
After being admitted to the hospital, she fell into seizures due to brain swelling and recovered only after receiving a liver transplant.
Doctors diagnosed her with fulminant Hepatitis B, a type of liver impairment that develops roughly eight weeks after developing hepatitis.
