"Qiuye, don't be anxious. Just wait here for a while. When Li Chu finishes the meeting, I will take you over to find him."
Ding Qiunan didn't know what to say. He couldn't tell people directly that the disease was completely hopeless.
However, she also vaguely remembered that her husband once told her that the only solution for kidney failure might be a kidney transplant.
The Department of Surgery at Peking Union Medical College once jointly worked on this topic with the School of Medicine. Later, during a special period, the topic was shelved. I don’t know if they have researched anything now.
Ran Qiuye sat there with a sad face, and Ding Qiunan felt a little sorry for her.
Their family has been in trouble these past few years.
Since the beginning of that special period, things have happened one after another in their family.
First, her parents were sent to work on the farm, and then her younger sister was sent to the countryside to join the queue. She was stopped from teaching at the school to sweep the floors.
Now, finally, her parents are back, my sister has been admitted to college, and she has resumed work. Who would have thought that her sister would be diagnosed with kidney failure again.
All these messy things have happened in recent years, and a young and beautiful girl has been dragged into an old girl who cannot get married.
Li Chu's meeting lasted until almost eleven o'clock. As soon as he returned to the office, Ding Qiunan led Ran Qiuye over.
After listening to Ran Qiuye's description, he frowned and lowered his head in thought.
Seeing Li Chu's expression, Ran Qiuye's heart kept sinking. This was her sister's last hope, but...
After a while, Li Chu raised his head and looked at Ran Qiuye and said: "Teacher Ran, according to what you said, Ye Zi's current situation is indeed not optimistic.
Let’s do this, you go back first, and if there’s nothing else going on here in the afternoon, I’ll go over and take a look, and we’ll talk about the details then, okay?”
"Thank you Dr. Li."
"You're welcome, we are friends."
After sending Ran Qiuye away, Li Chu and Ding Qiunan walked in.
"Li Chu, do you think the leaves can be cured?"
"In the middle and late stages of renal failure, unless a kidney is transplanted. And even if the operation is successful, the postoperative period is the most critical."
"You mean you can have kidney transplant surgery now?"
"Yes, Union Medical College has successfully performed two kidney transplants the year before last and the year before last. Nationwide, dozens of kidney transplants have been successfully performed. The problem is the survival time after surgery."
"Isn't it considered a success after a kidney transplant?"
"Acute rejection, accelerated rejection, and infection after surgery are all high-risk stages within six months. Even after these six months, there will be chronic rejection and other unknown risks in the long term."
"How did the patients recover from the two surgeries performed by Xiehe?"
"The one I did the year before last is still there, but the one last year didn't survive half a year."
"Li Chu, why don't Xiehe recommend this surgery to Ran Qiuye and his family?"
"This surgery is not yet mature. Who dares to recommend it? And where is the kidney source?"
"Uh..." Ding Qiunan didn't know what to say. She didn't understand any of this.
"Okay, wife, don't think about it so much. I'll go over and have a look in the afternoon."
"Okay then, you go first in the afternoon, and I will go see her in the evening."
After separating from Ding Qiunan, Li Chu returned to his office and didn't think about Ran Ziye's condition anymore. He hadn't seen the patient yet, so all his thoughts were in vain.
Then I thought about the academic meeting just now. The new dean has been officially in office for a month. His surname is Shan, which is a very rare surname. This character is pronounced as shan in the surname, with four tones. Of course, these are not the focus.
The point is that this new dean is an innocent executive dean who does not understand medical skills.
Dean Shan is still Xiao Sui Caogui and has not carried out drastic reforms in the hospital affairs.
After all, President Liu had just retired, and he had only stepped down from his position in the hospital. He continued to serve in the health care team.
However, at the meeting just now, Dean Shan also revealed some news, that is, the level of the General Hospital will be improved in the future, and it will be directly under the management of the General Logistics Department.
This is good news. If the level of the main hospital is improved, then the level of everyone here will be improved.
Li Chu didn't care about this. What's the point of improving? It's just the same job.
What he is concerned about is that once this upgrade is successful, the general hospital will also have another name, called the Military Medical College, which will be responsible for cultivating high-level talents in the army. At that time, the general hospital will be able to recruit graduate students.
Unlike now, it is just a training unit.
After eating at noon, Li Chu asked Xiaotian to drive and took him to Xiehe.
Taking advantage of the lunch break, he went directly to the ward without looking for any old acquaintances.
After reading some more test results and taking his own pulse, he took Ran Qiuye and her father, Professor Ran, to the car downstairs.
"Professor Ran, Teacher Ran, I believe the doctors from the two hospitals have explained Ye Zi's condition clearly to you these days, so I won't go into details. To be honest, Chinese medicine doesn't have any special treatment methods for this disease.
The key is that it was discovered too late. If it had been discovered early, her quality of life could have been basically guaranteed through some treatments, but now..."
Having said this, Li Chu shook his head.
"Alas" Professor Ran sighed deeply. He had been mentally prepared in the past few days. He was not disappointed with Li Chu's answer. He just felt that God was a little unfair to their family.
"Doctor Li, is there really nothing we can do?"
Ran Qiuye asked still unwillingly.
Li Chu hesitated for a moment, but after thinking about it carefully, he finally said it: "How should I put it? It shouldn't be said that there is absolutely no way. In fact, kidney transplantation can be used to extend the survival time of Ye Zi, but..."
"Kidney transplant?" Professor Ran and Ran Qiuye shouted in surprise at the same time.
"That's right, it's a kidney transplant." Li Chu nodded: "Each of us has two kidneys, and if there is no loss of function, one kidney can satisfy the normal metabolism and excretion of our body."
"Dr. Li, what do you mean, my daughter's two kidneys are now damaged and cannot be used anymore. Your doctor will remove both kidneys through surgery and replace her with a normal kidney?"
"Yes, that's probably what it means."
“Where can I get this kidney transplant surgery?”
Ran Qiuye couldn't care less about the difference between men and women. She sat in the back seat of the car, leaned over and grabbed the arm of Li Chu, who was sitting in the passenger seat, and asked anxiously.
Li Chu was slightly stunned when his arm was grabbed, and he pulled his arm out of Ran Qiuye's hand without leaving any trace.
