Hello, everyone! Today’s popular science content has to start with Xiao Zhang’s experience of seeing a doctor…
Time: x month x day xxxx
Location: Renal Transplantation Follow-up Clinic, Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University
Characters: Patient Xiao Zhang, doctor
Xiao Zhang: Hello doctor, I was a patient who received a kidney transplant from a relative last year. It has been more than a year since the surgery, but I recently felt something was wrong and wanted to check my kidney function.
Doctor: Hello, Xiao Zhang. Do you have any physical discomfort symptoms recently?
Xiao Zhang: Doctor, I have been addicted to mobile games for the past six months and often forget to take medicine. Since last month, I found that I urinated less, which made me a little worried.
Doctor: These conditions do need further examination. Please do some relevant examinations, we can see what the current situation is and rule out whether there are any problems with kidney function.
After the examination…
Doctor: Xiao Zhang, according to your examination report, your kidney function has serious problems and it may be difficult to recover. We will do a renal biopsy first and carry out anti-rejection treatment at the same time. As for whether the kidney function can be saved, it is still difficult to say…
Xiao Zhang: Oh my God! Doctor, how could this happen?
Doctor: Xiao Zhang, immunosuppressants are very important drugs. They can help your body avoid rejecting the transplanted kidney, so they must be taken on time and in the right dosage, and cannot be changed at will. Your current condition may be caused by your failure to take the medicine on time. I hope we can save it after taking measures.
Relative kidney transplantation is to transplant a healthy kidney of a relative into the patient’s body to treat renal failure. This method is usually used when the patient does not have a suitable donor or has been on the waiting list for an organ transplant for too long. Relative kidney transplantation has a higher success rate and better long-term prognosis because relatives have a more similar genetic background, which reduces the risk of rejection and complications. However, relative kidney transplantation also has the risk of serious complications such as rejection. Therefore, you must listen to the doctor and take medicine on time after the kidney transplantation~
When performing a relative kidney transplantation, there are some things to pay attention to
The donor must donate the kidney completely voluntarily and selflessly, and there are no other factors that affect the donation decision.
Donors should adjust their physical condition before surgery and keep in the best condition. For example, if the donor is overweight, they can exercise and do sports under the guidance of a doctor to reduce their weight to the ideal range.
Recipients need to take anti-rejection drugs for life after kidney transplantation. They have low immunity and should pay attention to preventing infection. Recipients should also pay attention to maintaining regular and healthy eating habits and developing good living habits, such as not smoking, not drinking, going to bed early and getting up early, and avoiding excessive fatigue.
After surgery, you must strictly follow the doctor’s advice, take medicine on time, and monitor kidney function regularly to observe whether there is rejection or other complications. You must not let your precious kidneys lose function like Xiao Zhang did.
Family support and care are also crucial for relative kidney transplantation. After surgery, patients need the understanding and support of their families, and their families should actively provide emotional support and care to help patients recover. At the same time, family members also need to pay attention to their own physical and mental health, and avoid ignoring their own health due to excessive attention to patients.
Summary
In general, relative kidney transplantation is a complex and important operation that requires adequate preparation and attention for both donors and recipients. The donor should understand and agree with the significance of donation and be prepared physically and mentally. The recipient should accept the existence of the new kidney, protect the kidney and follow the doctor’s advice on medication and lifestyle adjustments. Do not adjust the dosage of medication at will or even stop taking medication. Family support and care are also very important. Only by working together can the success of the operation and the health of the patient be ensured.
