Zhongxin Online, 10 January (Chen Jing, Wang Genhua) In the Shanghai Armed Police, his younger brother who was suffering from uremia was knocked down by the disease, and the elder brother donated his kidney without hesitation.

Yin Hao, director of the Organ Transplant Center, told reporters on the 10th: "Organ transplantation is the most effective way to treat end-stage organ failure. Han Shu, deputy director of the Department of Organ Transplantation, introduced that broodstock kidney transplantation is a difficult technology in the field of kidney transplantation, and it has extremely high requirements for the doctor's surgical techniques, psychological anti-stress ability and perioperative management ability. Surgery should not only ensure the success of obtaining the kidney, but also try to minimize the damage to the donor kidney, ensure the safety of the operation, and complete a series of fine operations such as renal perfusion cryopreservation and recipient vascular anastomosis in the shortest possible time to reduce complications such as arterial stenosis of the recipient.

His 30-year-old brother, Xiaomiao (pseudonym), is a staff officer of an armed police force in Shanghai. In 2020, during a routine physical examination, he was found to have high serum creatinine, and after treatment, his condition was stable. When I went to the hospital for a review a few months later, I was diagnosed with "kidney failure". Since then, he has been tortured by hemodialysis treatment three times a week. When he learned that Shanghai Changzheng Hospital could do "parental kidney transplantation", Xiaomiao's brother did not hesitate to donate a kidney to his younger brother.

Han Shu introduced: Kidney transplantation is currently the best choice for treating uremia Inter-kinship kidney transplantation; due to the blood relationship between donors and recipients, tissue compatibility is better, which can reduce the incidence of rejection and the surgical effect is also good. As long as the kidney donation is properly maintained, it usually does not have a huge impact on the brother's physical health and normal life.

The Long March kidney transplant team with rich experience, under the leadership of Han Shu, worked together and seamlessly, successfully removed his brother's left kidney through minimally invasive surgery, and then carefully implanted the kidney into his brother's body through perfusion and repair steps, and anastomized the blood vessels and ureters one by one. After the blood flow is restored, the "kidney transplant" has a new urine flowing out, indicating that the brother's kidney has begun to work in the younger brother's body.

Under the "escort" of the kidney transplant center and the medical staff of many departments, the brothers were in a stable condition throughout the whole process, and the brother was successfully recovered and discharged after the operation. Kidney transplant surgery is only the first step, follow-up perioperative treatment is also very important, the expert team developed an immunosuppressive program, after anti-rejection, anti-infection and other precision individual treatment, the younger brother also recovered and discharged.

Since 1978, Shanghai Changzheng Hospital has performed nearly 5,000 kidney transplants, and a large number of patients have survived for more than 20 years after kidney transplantation, and the longest survival time has been 40 years. (End)
