Apple phones gained popularity in China 12 years ago, with many young people considering them a fashion statement. Wang Gang, a 17-year-old, wanted to own an iPhone but couldn't afford it. He eventually decided to sell his kidney through a black-market middleman for 23,000 yuan, not knowing that it was sold for 260,000 yuan.

Soon after, he experienced health issues and was diagnosed with a severe infection due to inadequate disinfection during the surgery. His parents sought help from the police and caught the organ trafficking gang. Wang Gang received compensation, but his body was devastated, and he became disabled, relying on dialysis for survival.

This incident raises important questions about kidney function and the risks of organ removal. While humans can live with one kidney, those with only one may face health problems if the remaining kidney becomes burdened. There are claims that certain organs are non-essential and can be removed without affecting life, but scientific evidence suggests otherwise.

The gallbladder, appendix, wisdom teeth, tonsils, and coccyx all serve important functions in the body. Lastly, it is crucial to be aware of behaviors that can damage the kidneys and lead to chronic kidney disease. The prevalence of this condition in China is high, and early detection and prevention are essential.
