Cirurgião da Mayo Clinic: Doação de rins em vida e avanços médicos ajudam pacientes a evitar a diálise
Mayo Clinic

O método convencional para tratar pessoas com doença renal avançada tem sido a diálise, que elimina os resíduos do sangue enquanto os pacientes aguardam, por anos, rins de doadores falecidos. Na Mayo Clinic, o cirurgião especializado em transplante, Dr. Mikel Prieto, e seus colegas defendem uma abordagem diferente chamada transplante preemptivo: Rins de doadores em vida estão permitindo que muitas pessoas com doença renal avançada recebam transplantes antes que seus rins se deteriorem tanto a ponto de precisarem de diálise.

Mayo Clinic surgeon: Living kidney donation, medical advances help patients avoid dialysis
Mayo Clinic

The traditional way to treat people with advanced kidney disease has been to use dialysis to remove waste from the blood while patients wait several years for kidneys from deceased organ donors. At Mayo Clinic, transplant surgeon Dr. Mikel Prieto and colleagues advocate for a different approach called preemptive transplantation: Kidneys from living donors are allowing many people with advanced kidney disease to receive transplants before their kidneys deteriorate so much that they need dialysis.

جرّاح من مايو كلينك: التبرع بالكلى من متبرعين أحياء والتقدم الطبي يساعدان المرضى على تجنب غسيل الكلى
Mayo Clinic

روتشستر، مينيسوتا — الطريقة التقليدية لعلاج المرضى المصابين بمرض الكلى المتقدم كانت تعتمد على غسيل الكلى لإزالة الفضلات من الدم، في أثناء انتظارهم لعدة سنوات للحصول على كلية من متبرعين متوفين. في مايو كلينك، يدعو جرّاح زراعة الأعضاء الدكتور ميكيل برييتو وزملاؤه إلى اتباع نهج مختلف يُعرف بالزراعة الاستباقية؛ حيث تُمكِّن الكلى المتبرع بها من متبرعين أحياء العديد من المرضى المصابين بمرض الكلى المتقدم من الحصول على زراعة للكلى قبل أن تتدهور حالتهم إلى درجة تتطلب غسيل الكلى.
