This is the third kidney transplant at Vietnam - Sweden Uong Bi Hospital, Quang Ninh province, marking the success of implementing a new treatment method at the hospital.
Before the kidney transplant, the patient was diagnosed with end-stage chronic kidney failure. At a very young age, having to undergo dialysis periodically is not only a big physical and mental challenge, but also a financial burden for the whole family.
When she learned that her daughter had this disease, the mother volunteered to register for screening and donated a kidney to save her child.
The kidney transplant was performed with direct professional guidance and support from experts from Viet Duc Friendship Hospital, along with close coordination between specialties in Vietnam - Sweden Uong Bi Hospital, including: Endocrinology, Surgery - Urinology, Anesthesia Resuscitation, Intensive Resuscitation...
Immediately after surgery, the patient was monitored and given special care in the Intensive Care Unit. Kidney function indicators improved significantly and returned to normal after a few days. In particular, the patient did not have an acute cleft lipid reaction and could eat and exercise normally for only a short time.
After discharge, the patient will continue to be monitored periodically according to the post-transplant treatment regimen, including the use of anti-transplant drugs and regular kidney function tests in the first months.
The successful implementation of 3 consecutive kidney transplants has affirmed the professional capacity and high-tech development vision of Vietnam - Sweden Uong Bi Hospital. This is not only a remarkable medical milestone for the hospital, but also great good news for the health sector of Quang Ninh province, opening up a new treatment direction that is more effective, safe and closer to local people.
Currently, the hospital is actively preparing the necessary conditions to be ready to perform kidney transplants for 15 cases that have been designated for kidney transplants according to the plan; at the same time, promoting professional cooperation with leading medical facilities to transfer techniques and specialized training to gradually master the kidney transplant process at the hospital.
