"My father not only gave me life, but he also gave me his own kidney transplant. When you are in good health, work well to repay him. December 15 was the most memorable day for 26-year-old Tang Suyang, because on this day, the 52-year-old father's kidney was implanted in his body, and he no longer needed to rely on dialysis every week to maintain his life.
After 90 years of young men with uremia, his father donated a kidney to save his son
Tang Suyang is a native of Shuyang, Suqian. After graduating from school, he worked in a car 4S shop. 1.7 meters tall, is a sunny and cheerful big boy.
Tang Suyang's physical condition has always been very good, but last April, he suddenly wanted to throw up while working, and the discomfort became more and more intense after that, "often feeling uncomfortable, dizziness, high blood pressure, climbing stairs is very tired, want to vomit, do not want to eat."
Sensing the changes in his body, he went to the hospital for examination and was diagnosed with chronic renal insufficiency uremia. Doctors told him that dialysis or kidney transplantation was necessary to continue to maintain life, otherwise it would lead to multi-organ failure and could even be life-threatening. In just over a month, the cost of hospitalization and dialysis cost tens of thousands, and the family's life was in trouble.
"My family is rural, my parents planted a few acres of land, and they borrowed a lot of money to treat me." Tang Suyang said that suffering from uremia, the family's economic conditions can not be cured at all. He filled in a profile in the organ donation distribution system and waited in line for the kidney source. However, the waiting of the kidney source brought him disappointment and even despair. It has been suggested that they donate kidney transplants between their loved ones.
When the father learned that the parents could be transplanted, he made the decision to donate a kidney to save his son.
"He's still young, and since he has a way to save the child, he can't watch him go ahead of me." Father Tang Chengzao said that as long as there is a glimmer of hope, he will try it and prolong the life of the child.
The father gave his son a second life
In May this year, Tang Suyang's father and son came to the Su University Affiliated Hospital. After evaluation and pairing testing, the Jiangsu Provincial Organ Transplant Technology Clinical Application and Ethics Expert Committee evaluated and the provincial health administrative department reviewed and approved the kidney transplant surgery.
After more than half a year of preparation. On the afternoon of December 15, the sun was shining. Tang Suyang came to his father's hospital room, he squeezed his father's hand, sent his father into the operating room, and then he was pushed into another operating room by the nurse.
Under the joint efforts of the urological transplant team led by Huang Yuhua, director and chief physician of the Department of Urology of the First Affiliated Hospital of Su University, the parental kidney transplant operation was successfully completed, achieving 3 minutes of renal fever ischemia and 1 hour of cold ischemia.
"My father was simple and kind, he not only gave me life, but also gave me his own kidney transplant." Speaking of his father, Tang Suyang, who was lying on the hospital bed, wept several times, saying that when his body recovered, he would work hard and repay his parents.
Knowing that the operation was successful, Tang Chengzhao was also particularly relieved, saying that one of his kidneys could be exchanged for his son's life, which was worth it!
"This is a great father, and his actions also infect us. The operation was successful, the father can recover and be discharged after one week, the son can be discharged in 2 to 3 weeks, and he can live and work normally after recovery. Huang Yuhua introduced that uremia patients through kidney transplantation, the one-year human kidney survival rate is more than 95%, the five-year human kidney survival rate is more than 75%, and the longest survival time of transplanted kidneys is 30 years.
In the past 5 years, suzhou has had its first parental transplant
According to reports, at present, in human organ transplantation, most of them are kidney and liver transplants. At present, there are two main sources of transplanted organs: one is the living donation of close relatives within three generations, and the other is the public welfare donation of "deceased volunteers".
Director Huang Yuhua introduced that the First Affiliated Hospital of Suzhou University is currently the only hospital in Suzhou with kidney transplant qualifications. The hospital has been in the middle of a parental transplant since 2006, and this transplant is the first case of broodstock transplantation in Suzhou in 5 years.
According to the data, as of now, the First Affiliated Hospital of Suzhou University has completed a total of 42 cases of organ donation and 84 cases of kidney transplantation this year, ranking first in the province. However, the supply of kidney sources in Suzhou is still tight, and every 300 to 500 patients with kidney failure are waiting for one kidney.
"Public welfare kidney sources account for a relatively large proportion, but kidney sources are limited. There are not many parent-child donations, and there are factors such as parent-child ethics and social reality. Huang Yuhua further explained that in fact, for kidney transplantation, parental transplantation has great benefits. HLA (human leukocyte antigen) matches between broodstock certainly have more of the same site than the average person, and the rejection response will be much weaker. It can also reduce the cost of additional kidney donors and reduce the economic burden.
