The source of a donor kidney and how long can it last?

There are two sources of donor kidney. First is a deceased donor. Due to external injuries which have cause brain-dead, the donor's organs can still function by artificially maintaining his blood circulation or respiratory system, and thus his heart, liver, kidney, lungs, etc can be used for transplantation. In order to receive a deceased donor kidney, the patient's blood type has to be a match. For example, blood type O can be used for patients with blood type A, AB, and O, but a blood type AB can only be used for patients with blood type AB. The more compatible the blood type, the less complications will occur. If a matched donor kidney is being rejected by the patient's body, medication can easily be used to resolve this problem.

This is why relative donors are a good donor kidney source as there will be high chances of compatibility between relatives, and thus reduces chances of rejection, difficulty of operation and also prolong the life of the donor kidney after the transplant. Patients who performed relative donor kidney transplants overs have lived for 43 years, and the donor kidney can last 19-20 years. On the other hand, 50% of deceased donor kidney receivers only lived for about 10 years.

What are the negative side effects of long-term dialysis for a patient with Kidney failure?

Although dialysis is a good way of prolonging one's life, it is still not a replacement for a failed organ. Negative effects of long-term dialysis include:-
1. Metabolic wastes cannot be get rid of,
2. Anemia. A patient with kidney failure spends 3 days of a week at the hospital for dialysis. This not only causes a huge inconvenience on one's daily life, the cost incurred is also very significant. If all possible, a patient should consider a kidney transplant.

Testimonial from a patient's niece from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

This is to certify that my family is pleased with the ground ambulance services provided by Emedihuh and George C Tan
and we would recommend their ambulance and medical referral services in Singapore and Malaysia.

This August, my uncle was admitted to Khoo Teck Phuat Hospital in Singapore and had a surgery.
When we had decided to send him to Kuala Lumpur for long term care, the hospital suggested for Emedihub to provide
ground ambulance service. It was a complicated case because my uncle was an ICU patient and needed ventilation.
George was patient, experienced and professional. His price was competitive and has a wide range of options for us. His doctor, a specialist,
visited my uncle the day before and worked on various ventulators. He had to come a second time to ensure we minimize the risks.

George was in close contact with me through the entire process.

Despite the additional efforts, George did not charge us any additional fee for the additional doctor visit and sticked with the original terms.

My family and I are very pleased with Emedihub and George's service and would recommend them to our friends, colleagues and relatives.

Sincerely,

Rina Kam
