Successful kidney transplant surgery number 6.

Following the success of the first five kidney transplants, Viet Tiep Friendship Hospital continued to perform a sixth kidney transplant surgery with a related patient. The recipients were a father and son residing in Phu Lien ward, Kien An district, Hai Phong city.

Representatives from Viet Tiep Friendship Hospital and Viet Duc Friendship Hospital took a commemorative photo with leaders of the Hai Phong City Department of Health during the conference summarizing the first 5 kidney transplant cases at the hospital.

Accordingly, patient TTH A, born in 1995, was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease in the third month of her pregnancy in 2019, accompanied by high blood pressure. As a result, the fetus only lasted for a little over seven months before being stillborn. In early March 2020, her condition worsened, requiring hospitalization and treatment with dialysis three times a week. For the past four years, regardless of weather conditions, she has had to undergo dialysis to maintain her life.

Heartbroken to see his daughter thin, weak, and struggling with illness, Mr. TXD, born in 1974, and his family, upon hearing that Viet Tiep Friendship Hospital had successfully performed kidney transplants and that previous surgeries had been successful, decided to donate his kidney to his daughter. After screening and clinical tests, the doctors concluded that all parameters and indicators between father and daughter were compatible for kidney donation and reception.

Doctors at Viet Tiep Friendship Hospital performed the kidney washing technique before transplanting it to TTH A's son.

Surgeons from Viet Tiep Friendship Hospital, along with experts from Viet Duc Friendship Hospital, performed a kidney transplant, transferring a kidney from father TXD to son TTH A.

The kidney removal and transplant surgery lasted nearly 5 hours and initially yielded successful results; the transplanted kidney has begun producing urine. The recipient received intensive care and special attention, particularly strict adherence to post-operative infection control procedures.

Following the successful completion of the sixth kidney transplant surgery, Viet Tiep Friendship Hospital held a conference to summarize the first five kidney transplant cases performed at the hospital.
