Readers of history books will have heard the story of Bian Que exchanging hearts for Lu Gonghu and Zhao qiying, which can be seen as the rudiment of the Ancients’ fantasy of organ transplantation. Organ transplants were once considered the stuff of science fiction and fairy tales. Until modern times, with the rapid development of surgical techniques and the emergence of immunosuppressants, this fantasy has finally become a reality. Today, organ transplantation has become an effective treatment for end-stage organ failure. On January 7,2022, a team of surgeons at the University of Maryland School of Medicine successfully transplanted the heart of a genetically modified pig into a 57-year-old male patient, marking the first time that a pig’s heart has been transplanted into a human, it’s revolutionary, and it makes people think about organ transplantation in the future.
In the field of organ transplantation, kidney transplantation is the first choice for the treatment of end-stage kidney failure. New kidneys don’t come easily, but the success of a kidney transplant is just the beginning, the first step in a long journey. In order to protect the“New kidney”, long-term and regular follow-up and self-health management are very important, and close cooperation between doctors and patients is needed.
The Department of Urology of Zhongshan Hospital affiliated to Fudan University is one of the earliest departments to carry out renal allotransplantation in China. In many years of clinical work in kidney transplantation, patients and their families often ask us: uremia patients want to do kidney transplantation? When is the best time for a kidney transplant? What should notice in respect of how to take medicine, food after kidney transplant operation? Can after kidney transplant give birth to a child, can have sexual life? To answer such questions, in addition to professional knowledge of kidney transplantation, it is necessary to use easy-to-understand language, so that patients and their families can understand and accept. As early as 2014, the kidney transplantation team of sun yat-sen hospital affiliated to Fudan University created the wechat public account“Kidney Transplantation of sun yat-sen hospital affiliated to Fudan University” for kidney friends and uremia patients, regular publicity and promotion of kidney transplantation-related knowledge, for the majority of patients to answer questions.
