Specialists of the National Scientific Center of Surgery and Transplantology named after A.A. Shalimov have successfully transplanted a kidney to a 31-year-old woman. The doctors provided details and also said that the patient's own mother was the donor, UNN reports.

Details

According to the Center, 31-year-old Yulia has had kidney disease since she was 9 years old. Over time, pyelonephritis was complicated by hypertension, and last year the young woman began to experience severe edema, including fluid accumulation in the abdomen and lungs.

Drug therapy did not bring any clinical effect, so Yulia was prescribed hemodialysis. The patient reacted poorly to dialysis procedures: constant nausea, loss of appetite, and therefore significant weight loss, general weakness. Finally, doctors advised her to contact Center of Surgery and Transplantology named after A.A. Shalimov and get on the waiting list for a kidney transplant.

Yulia came to the Center together with her mother, where they were both examined and found to be potentially histocompatible, so the mother could become a donor for her daughter.

"Our surgeons managed to perform laparoscopic kidney harvesting, which contributed to the donor's rapid postoperative rehabilitation. This is an important aspect, as the patient's mother constantly takes care of her because of Yulia's severe visual impairment.

Now, after a successful transplant and a short period of rehabilitation, the patient and her mother are going home," the doctors said.

We remind you that starting in 2024, our Center has entered into an agreement with the NHSU to provide medical care using the method of organ transplantation, which is provided to patients through the Medical Guarantees Program. Thus, organ transplantation operations, preoperative examinations and post-transplantation support are provided at the expense of the state budget.
