Four years ago, Xiao Qing (pseudonym), a Zhejiang girl who had just entered the society, unexpectedly found kidney problems. In just a few months, the condition increased rapidly. She had to maintain her life by peritoneal dialysis. After waiting for 470 days, Xiao Qing waited for a newborn to donate precious kidneys and successfully completed kidney transplant surgery at the West Hospital of Wuhan Union Hospital.

On July 6, the two kidneys that were reborn in her body had adapted to the new environment and grew up slowly. Professor Wang Zhendi, an expert in Xiehe kidney transplantation, said that low -weight children's kidney transplantation is extremely difficult, which also means that my country's organs transplantation constantly breaks through the weight of supply body weight and will bring more opportunities for rebirth to more patients.

It is reported that this is the first newborn double -supply kidney transplantation surgery after the overall movement of the urology and kidney transplant team of Wuhan Union Hospital to the Western Hospital. It is also the first kidney transplantation carried out by the medical institution of Wuhan Economic Development Zone.

Miao Ling girl encountered renal failure

Xiao Qing (pseudonym) is 26 years old and is home in Wenzhou, Zhejiang. One day 4 years ago, Xiao Qing suddenly had a severe headache. She thought it was a cold. After buying medicine for a few days, she had a headache. Xiao Qing recalled that she went to the small clinic near her home to see a doctor, with a amount of blood pressure, which was as high as 180 mm Hg. The doctor suggested that she go to a large hospital quickly.

After doing a series of inspections at a large hospital, Xiao Qing dare not face reality. The examination showed that her blood creatinine value reached 180 and was diagnosed as "renal insufficiency", which means that kidney function is losing. Xiao Qing remembered that she always felt that she had no energy before, and she was tired when she walked, and her calf was swollen. These were likely to be related to kidney problems.

During the hospitalization, the doctor was treated symptomatically, and Xiao Qing also actively cooperated. Unfortunately, several important indicators of her have not been controlled. In just a few months, the blood creatinine values ​​soared upwards, from the initial 200 to 500, and quickly broke through 1000. Xiao Qing's kidney function is getting worse and worse. At the suggestion of the doctor, she started peritoneal dialysis to replace the kidney work.

I look forward to miracles after 470 days of suffering

Over the past few years, Xiao Qing's life has changed dramatically. She told Jimu Journalists that because of peritoneal dialysis, she had to be performed every three and a half hours, and she could only be "trapped" at home. For more than 2 years, she has no life and socialization, and people have become inferior. She wore masks and hats when she went out, covering herself tightly, and she wanted to hide when she saw strangers.

In November 2020, the mother and daughter rushed to Wuhan Union Hospital to ask the kidney transplant expert Professor Wang Zhendi for help. After evaluation, Xiao Qing's kidneys have reached the end of the end. If you want to have a quality life, you can only choose kidney transplantation. Xiao Qing did not hesitate to agree to the organs.

This is the long 470 days. Xiao Qing said that she was holding her mobile phone every day, for fear of missing the phone. On the evening of June 2nd this year, the organ distribution and sharing system matched Xiao Qing to a potential supply of newborns weighing 2.7 kg. Professor Wang Zhendi immediately notified Xiao Qing to rush to the West Hospital of Xiehe Hospital for preparation.

Because this time is a low -weight "baby kidney", the transplantation surgery is difficult and it must not be lost at all. Professor Wang Zhendi decided to obtain the donor himself. At 11:30 at night on June 3rd, he moved to the plane and high -speed rail, and successfully brought two precious kidneys back to Wuhan to prepare for overnight surgery.

"Infant Kidney" is reborn in the body

On the operating table, Professor Wang Zhendi tried two "baby kidneys" a little bit, and this process took 2 hours. He introduced that these two "baby kidneys" have only 5 cm long diameter, such as quail eggs, and the degree of fineness of each step can be imagined.

During pruning, in addition to treating the blood vessels and ureteral tubes as thin as the hair, we must also keep the surrounding nutritional tissue as much as possible to prepare for future growth and development. The sewing process is also extremely testing technology, such as the requirements of babies, adult blood vessels, and uretericulous anastomosis to avoid complications such as postoperative embolism, bleeding, urinary leakage, and ureter stenosis.

The surgery requirements are extremely fine

In addition, the kidney has not yet completed development, and it takes a long time after transplantation to recover function. It is a test whether it can load high -pressure blood flow during the transition period. The kidney is also very particular about the "settlement" position in the patient's body. It is necessary to avoid displacement, but also leave enough space for future development, and ensure that blood vessels cannot "twist twist" embolism.

With the efforts of medical staff, the operation ended smoothly at 6 am on June 4. Soon, Xiao Qing had clear urine, which showed that the two "mini kidneys" began to work, and the medical career was relieved.

"Newborn kidney transplants to adults, it will grow slowly in the body. Generally, it can grow to adult kidney size in 2-3 years." Professor Wang Zhendi explained, but it cannot grow too fast, otherwise it may cause proteinuria, hematuria, bleeding, bleeding, bleeding, bleeding, and bleeding. , Even transplanted kidney rupture.

At present, Xiao Qing's new kidney has been "on -the -job", and the re -review is currently good. Professor Wang Zhendi encourages Xiao Qing to work and live like a normal person in the future. As long as the situation is stable, there is still the opportunity to have children.

"Infant Kidney" recovered well in Xiaoqing's body

Professor Wang Zhendi introduced that there are 600,000 registered dialysis patients in my country, and kidney transplantation is the most effective treatment for end -stage nephropathy. Although my country has vigorously promoted the donation of citizenship in recent years, the supply gap is still very large. At the Wuhan Union Hospital alone, more than 700 patients with end -end renal diseases are waiting for transplantation.
