This doctor is not short of money

"Wilms tumor?"

Du Heng sat up from the big chair.

If you want to say who is the most annoying tumor, this nephroblastoma is definitely on the list.

The most important thing is that this disease tends to occur in children, and it is most common in children under the age of three, but this does not mean that children after the age of three will not get the disease, but it is a high incidence period before the age of ten.

It's not that adults can't, it's just that the chances are very small.

In children's tumors, this disease is directly ranked the second highest.

The top ones are medulloblastoma, brain tumor, and brainstem glioma.

And they can be ranked first, all because the location of the disease is in the head.

As long as you have this disease, the number of years of survival is calculated in single digits. Those who can live for more than ten years and count up, the whole world can be counted with two hands.

As for Wilms tumor, its survival rate is as good as that of medulloblastoma.

It ranks second only because people have two kidneys.

And because of the development of modern medicine, this disease can be treated with a combination of surgery and chemotherapy. The difficulty of treatment is much simpler than that of medulloblastoma, and the success rate is relatively high.

But this disease is very annoying.

Because it seems that a person has two kidneys, but as long as one kidney is found to have this tumor, then the other kidney has a high probability of developing the disease.

The most annoying thing is that even if you completely remove the affected kidney, it will still recur and metastasize.

So the high success rate and high survival rate are only relative terms.

After the above things flashed through his mind, Du Heng suddenly felt bad.

After rubbing his face hard, Du Heng stood up, put on his clothes, and left, "The director is not here in the afternoon, so you should worry more. I'll go and see what's going on, and call me if there is any situation."

Cao Binghe nodded, and walked out of the office with Du Heng.

After Director Niu saw Du Heng, he greeted him very familiarly and entered his office, "I'm really sorry, but I have to trouble Director Du again."

Du Heng was also very polite, "Director Niu, you are too polite, isn't this what we do. Tell us about the child's situation first, and let's try to solve the problem as soon as possible."

Director Niu was also polite, and after greeting Du Heng, he said directly, "The patient is eight years old, and the local hospital referred him to our hospital overnight after he developed a fever and vomiting two days ago.

The child was found to have nephroblastoma in the left kidney a year ago, and finally the left kidney was removed in our hospital. Considering the family situation of the child, chemotherapy was done locally.

After being admitted to the hospital last night, we did a corresponding examination, and the diagnosis was confirmed, and a tumor was also found in the right kidney. "

When Director Niu said that the child had had his left kidney removed, Du Heng's heart skipped a beat.

Regardless of whether there is a tumor in the right kidney, let’s talk about the removal of the left kidney. Whether it is placed on a child or an adult, it is a very difficult thing to accept.

Kidneys are the root of yin and yang in the human body. When two kidneys are working, people are plagued by various diseases all the time.Now there is only one left, and the consequences can be imagined.

First of all, the kidney governs development and reproduction.For a child, if he loses one kidney, he will forget about developmental problems. Either a certain viscera is not well developed, and he will not live long, or he will not grow tall, or even develop abnormalities.

And for adults, the results are clear at a glance.

Secondly, the kidney is the waist, where all the strength of the whole body runs through. If one is missing, it will basically become a useless person, and all movements and jobs that require strength will basically be missed.

In addition, the kidney governs water, and this water refers to the metabolism of the internal organs.With only one kidney left, there will be problems with the metabolism of viscera.

This also means that in later life, various diseases will continue to come up.It is almost impossible to have a quality life.

There are many other functions of the kidney, such as the flower in the hair, open to the ear, manage the two bowels, control the bone, generate the marrow and connect the brain and so on.

The loss of one kidney is like the work of two people, but now it becomes the work of one person, and the result is that the workload has doubled.

This means that for a person with less kidneys, his everything is half of that of a normal person.And working for a long time is undoubtedly a huge burden on the only remaining kidney, which will make its working status and lifespan halved again.

And in this case, if an adult with one less kidney can live well past the age of 35, he will already be burning high incense.

Therefore, Du Heng still couldn't figure out what they were thinking when they donated one of their kidneys for tens of thousands to 2 yuan.

Even if you are short of money, it’s only tens of thousands to [-] to [-]. If you go to an electronics factory or a construction site, it’s really not enough to pick up scraps. Would it take a year to earn money?

Coveting the convenience of the moment, but trading the health and comfort of the next few decades, I really don't know if these people have no brains.

In addition, some people, especially those in the medical field, are eagerly promoting that the kidney is for urination, and one is enough, so that everyone can rest assured that donation will not cause any harm to the human body.

Damn, he yelled so loudly and said it so easily, why didn't he see him do the matching by himself and donate one to others?
This kind of person is completely two extremes from the previous one.

The former type is the kind of idiot without IQ, and the latter type is the bad type with no humanity, and it is the bad type with pus on the heel that has already been damaged, and the bad type has lost all children and grandchildren.

This is true for adults, but for a child, the result of losing one kidney is obvious.

Therefore, after Du Heng heard that the child had already undergone surgery and chemotherapy, he actually had no hope in his heart.

After sighing, Du Heng looked at Director Niu and said, "Director Niu, can I go and see the child first?"

"of course can."

Director Niu took Du Heng to find the child, and with just one glance, Du Heng was completely sure of his thoughts.

The child is a bit fat, but it is not the kind of obesity that is eaten, but edema, just because the child is small, the skin is delicate, and there are all kinds of instruments and equipment on the body, which can largely relieve the edema, so Looks like a fat guy.

But the tubes and equipment on the child have already shown that the child's kidneys are no longer working.

Hey!
Now that it's here, let's take a look, in case there is still a glimmer of hope.

But when Du Heng's hand felt the child's pulse, he still couldn't help sighing again.

Hopeless.

The kidney function is completely disabled, the stomach qi is gone, and he is still alive, and his heartbeat can still be seen on the monitor, which is entirely due to the effects of these tubes on the child.

To put it bluntly, at this stage, for the child, it is completely lingering, and every time he takes a breath, the child will suffer.

It's just that he no longer has the strength to express that he is in pain, and his spirit has begun to become confused, and he can't use body movements or voice to express his emotions.

Director Niu looked at Du Heng's calm face, and couldn't help but sighed in his heart.

After Du Heng's inspection was over, the two returned to Director Niu's office without saying a word.

But Director Niu still didn't give up and asked, "Director Du, is there still a chance?"

Du Heng shook his head lightly, "The child has no stomach qi, even if he is given medicine, he can't absorb it.

Moreover, his kidney function has completely stopped now, even if he is given medicine, he can no longer transform it.

Most importantly, his other viscera and organs had also reached their limits, and they couldn't stand the force of the medicine at all. "

Director Niu also became silent, sat down on the chair and stopped talking.

Du Heng hesitated and asked, "Director Niu, is there anything else you can do?"

Director Niu smiled wryly, "What else can I do? I can't cut off the only kidney.

And after two years of chemotherapy, as you said, this child's body is already weak. Even if the lesion can be removed now, this child can't persist.

Even if we persevere, what about the subsequent chemotherapy?
This is a long way to go. The problem now is that the tumor has completely invaded the kidney. If surgery is required, the whole kidney can only be removed. "

But now he has only one kidney!
Du Heng followed with a sigh.

If he had just discovered this, he might still be able to think of a way to try as much as possible.But now, he really doesn't have that ability anymore.

"Then Director Niu, is he notifying his parents now?"

"Notify, there is no other way." Director Niu shook his head lightly.

Hearing this, Du Heng was about to leave, but Director Niu stopped him again, "Dr. Du, don't leave in a hurry, I still have a case I want to discuss with you."

Du Heng stopped, "Director Niu, tell me."

"It's like this. I have a patient with stage four chronic renal failure who found me last month." Director Niu said slowly, "I was thinking about waiting for him to come someday, so I invited Director Du to come over. Show it.

But this person hasn't come for a while, so I haven't invited Director Du.

But Director Du, you are also very busy these days, I know all about it, if you are waiting for this patient, I am afraid that you will be unable to move away from your time.

Just in time, you are here today, let me take a closer look and see if there is any good way for Chinese medicine. "

The fourth stage of chronic renal failure is uremia.

Du Heng frowned.

The fourth or fifth stage of renal failure is the advanced stage.At this level, the patient's kidneys cannot perform normal functions and cannot meet the basic metabolic needs of the human body.

And this is called uremia.

There are many causes of uremia, such as chronic nephritis, diabetic nephropathy, hypertensive nephropathy, polycystic kidney disease, and chronic pyelonephritis.

But in general, this disease is not solved overnight, it is caused by the long-term overdraft of the kidneys.
