Huang Apo (pseudonym), 76 years old this year, has been diagnosed with uremia and continuous hemodialysis for 25 years, and is currently the longest patient in Shenzhen.
25 years ago, Huang Apo went to the hospital for nausea and vomiting, and unfortunately was diagnosed with uremia and had to undergo hemodialysis treatment. Later, her supervisor, Director Wu Ming, came to Shenzhen Hang Seng Hospital, and out of trust in Director Wu and her proximity to home, she began to receive regular hemodialysis treatment in Hang Seng.

Hemodialysis 3 times a week for 4 hours each time
In this marathon to fight against the disease, the encouragement and companionship of her family, the high-quality dialysis special diagnosis and treatment of Hang Seng and the careful care of medical staff made her persist all the way, and behind the "ultra-long standby" is high-quality dialysis.
In general, dialysis can basically maintain a lifespan of 10-20 years if complications are well controlled. Grandma can continue dialysis for such a long time, inseparable from high-quality dialysis.
For patients with chronic kidney disease, the endocrine function of the kidneys continues to decline, resulting in less synthesis of erythropoietin, the ability to make blood is also weakened, and many people will have symptoms of anemia.
Director Wu Ming of Hang Seng Hemodialysis Centre said, "Anemia is an important clinical manifestation of chronic kidney disease and one of the common complications of hemodialysis patients in the treatment process. It can lead to problems such as mental loss, decreased sleep quality, emotional instability and loss of appetite, and is an independent risk factor for patients with cardiovascular complications, which seriously affects the physical and mental health and quality of life of patients. "Director Wu introduced." In order to reduce the complication of anemia, we have done a lot of work, for example, two years ago, in the Bao'an area, the first introduction of roxadustat (a drug with a major breakthrough in the treatment of renal anemia) has achieved good results. ”
At present, the anemia compliance rate of Hang Seng Hemodialysis Center is nearly 20% higher than that of the national and Shenzhen anemia standards.
Not only treatment, but also makes dialysis patients more "less painful"
Due to long-term hemodialysis, Huang Apo's hand forearm arteriovenous fistula is enlarged, and she suffers from renal bone disease, which is very painful on rainy and cold days.
To this end, Hang Seng Hemodialysis Center for Huang Apo and other patients like Grandma, carefully prepared a number of "pain reduction" special services, in addition to scientific medication, improve puncture technology to alleviate the pain caused by dialysis puncture, while using cold therapy, infrared physiotherapy and other physical therapy to improve the pain severity of long-term hemodialysis patients.
"Recently, we also plan to cooperate with traditional Chinese medicine and rehabilitation to give full play to the advantages of traditional Chinese medicine characteristic therapies, and carry out special therapies such as moxibustion, ear acupuncture beans, chinese medicine fumigation, acupuncture point application, etc., so that dialysis patients can receive dialysis treatment more comfortably." Director Wu introduced.
"Hang Seng Hemodialysis, is my other home"
"I have to come at least 3 days a week, half a day at a time, and this has become my other home." Speaking of the doctors and nurses at Shenzhen Hengsheng Hospital, Huang Apo's face was full of smiles. "Every time I go to Corey, the beautiful female nurse will greet me with a smile, and Director Wu will often come to ask me about my physical condition."
Sometimes it is busy, there is no time to pay attention to Grandma's situation at work, Director Wu Ming will take time to go to the village where Grandma Huang lives on weekends to see her, "the number of times I go, the security guards in the village remember Dr. Wu, and when they see him coming, they know that they are coming to see me," Grandma said.

"'Pioneering and innovative, excellence, kidney friends first' is the concept of our nephrology department (including hemodialysis center), and we have always been committed to creating a nephrology specialty with 'management standards, treatment characteristics, leading technology, thoughtful service, and patient trust'." Director Wu Ming said.
"At present, in addition to comprehensively carrying out renal biopsy and kidney case diagnosis, hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis, arteriovenous fistula plasty and repair, artificial intravascular fistula, temporary and permanent deep vein catheterization, parathyroidectomy, CRRT, plasmapheresis and immunosorbent and other specialized diagnosis and treatment technologies, we also closely follow the forefront of professional development to carry out a series of new treatment technologies and diagnostic technologies at home and abroad, and carry out double filtration plasma exchange treatment refractory hyperlipidemia and ischemic diseases according to the needs of sub-healthy and high-end populations." 3. Immune diseases and other series of plasma treatment feature new technologies, and strive to provide more patients with better diagnosis and treatment! ”
