also even if it was, could the man survived that long without the kidney?
Likely no. The patient had several other severe health issues, any one of which (or, more likely, a combination of which) caused his death. His new mutant kidney was probably the healthiest thing inside him.
Bingo. Even humans will die soon after Human-Human transplants, too.
