Ayu heaved a sigh of relief because she managed to trick the people closest to her. Ayu's intention to donate her kidney has been firmly established.
KREK~~~
The door to Satya's room is half open, revealing a beautiful figure behind it, Suci Indah Ayu. Surprised? Of course that's how Satya feels right now, the middle-aged man thinks that Ayu's intentions only last all night. But he was wrong, Ayu's arrival this morning seemed to confirm Ayu's intention to donate her kidney.
"You still want to donate your kidney to the patient named Firman Afif?" Ayu knows and understands the meaning of Satya's question, especially if it is not to cancel Ayu's intention to do this noble act.
"You have to get your Daddy and Mommy's approval to donate your kidney, Yu," said Satya when he saw Ayu's head nod. Why is it so hard to persuade Ayu to give up her intentions?
"I am a married woman, Uncle! Daddy has transferred the responsibility to my husband," Ayu explained in a slightly higher tone than before.
"Your husband supports you?" asked Satya with a questioning look. Then Ayu answered with a head up and down movement.
Satya gave up, maybe this time he was destined to fulfill Ayu's wish. Satya began to explain further about Kidney Transplant to Ayu.
Kidney donation is one solution to help treat patients with kidney failure. While noble and can save lives, these actions are not without risk. Side effects of kidney transplant include pain, infection in the surgical area, pneumonia, hernia, blood loss and the most fatal is death.
Even though she has to risk her life, Ayu will not back down, let alone give up. The word must be healed, they must gather as a whole and happy family. Ayu did not do this entirely for Firman's healing, but also for Zaskia who needed a father figure in her life.
The first thing that needs to be done when you want to become a kidney donor is to assess the compatibility of your kidney with a potential kidney recipient. This examination will be carried out by a medical team at the hospital who will perform kidney donor surgery.
Kidney compatibility can be determined from blood tests, both blood type tests, blood cross tests, and if needed, HLA tests to determine the match between recipient and donor kidney stem cells. Blood type examination is carried out using the A, B, AB and O system. The recipient and donor must have the same or compatible blood group, namely: If the recipient has Blood Type A, then the Donor blood group must be A or O If the recipient has Blood Type B, the donor's blood type must be B or O If the recipient has O blood type, then the donor's blood group must be O If the recipient has AB blood type, then the donor's blood group can come from all blood groups (A, B, AB or O If the recipient receives an inappropriate kidney donor, the recipient's body will recognize the kidney as a foreign object and damage it.
The next test is the examination of Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA) from the blood to identify the types of tissue types from both the donor and the recipient. Antigens as markers can be found in various body cells that distinguish each person uniquely. This marker is passed down from both parents.
To be able to receive a given kidney, the recipient marker and donor marker must have a high level of similarity (perfect match). Transplants with a high degree of similarity will give better results over the next few years. A good match rate is usually found in donors who are still close relatives of the recipient.
Antibodies will be formed at the time of infection, pregnancy, blood transfusion, until the transplant process. If there are antibodies against the donor kidney, the recipient's body will destroy the kidney. Therefore, a cross-match must be carried out to ensure that the recipient can receive the donor kidney properly. The test is done by mixing blood from the recipient with tissue cells from the donor.
If the cross test is positive, it means that the recipient has antibodies against the donor. On the other hand, if the cross-test result is negative, it means that the recipient does not have antibodies against the donor and can receive the donor's kidney.
This cross-test is performed several times during the transplant preparation stage, and the final test must be performed within 48 hours before the transplant is performed. Serological examination was carried out to determine the presence of HIV, hepatitis, and cytomegalovirus (CMV) virus infection so that appropriate preventive therapy could be given after transplantation.
This examination is carried out on all donors, in order to prevent transmission to the recipient.
The first thing that needs to be done when you want to become a kidney donor is to assess the compatibility of your kidney with a potential kidney recipient. This examination will be carried out by a medical team at the hospital who will perform kidney donor surgery.
Kidney compatibility can be determined from blood tests, both blood type tests, blood cross tests, and if needed, HLA tests to determine the match between recipient and donor kidney stem cells.
Prospective kidney donors must also be in good physical condition, mentally good, and of an ideal weight. In addition, people who want to become kidney donors must not have kidney problems or other health conditions that are at risk of causing kidney disease, such as diabetes and hypertension.
However, people with diabetes and hypertension are still able to donate their kidneys, if their blood sugar levels and blood pressure are well controlled.
A kidney donor should also not suffer from other diseases, such as cardiovascular disease, lung disease, blood clotting disorders, cancer, and HIV/AIDS. Before a kidney donor is carried out, the doctor will conduct a thorough medical examination to ensure that this procedure will not endanger the health of the donor and recipient.
If the results of the examination state that the donor kidney is healthy and matches the recipient's kidney donor, and the donor's overall health condition is good, kidney transplant surgery can be performed. Ayu listened to Satya's explanation very carefully and without interrupting at all.
For the last time Satya asked if Ayu really wanted to be a donor and the answer was still yes. Satya should have realized from the start that the woman in front of him was a child who inherited the stubborn nature of his father, Galih Surya Atmadja. Ayu will hold fast to her stance, once she says A, it will forever remain A and will not turn into B, especially until Z.
Satya takes Ayu to Doctor Riyan's room to carry out a series of examinations that have previously been carried out by Satya.
The three hours of undergoing a series of examinations did not relieve the woman with the appearance of Ayu because she had to wait again until the beginning of the week, because the results of the examination would be out in three days.
The ringing of Ayu's cell phone caught her attention. His brows furrowed when he saw who was calling him. What news will he hear this time?
