Chapter 512 The Hope of the Dialysis Room

"Very good, urine protein 2+, creatinine 123μmoI/L, just two courses of treatment, creatinine dropped from 700 to 100+."

"The damaged kidney function has been repaired, and there is still some inflammation. The problem is not serious. As long as you continue to take the medicine, I believe it will return to normal soon."

Dr. Tang looked at the results of the biochemical test in his hand and was full of praise.

These reports belong to the patients who participated in the clinical trial, and they were just released today.

After careful comparison with the examination results of the past few weeks, Dr. Tang confirmed his diagnosis.

"In the first course of treatment, 80% of patients with early renal failure had their creatinine index drop to 400+, which was fully reduced by half, and some patients even had acute renal failure with creatinine 1000+."

"Compared with the dialysis patients in the control group, the effect is very obvious, and the patient's condition has been greatly improved."

"Although it has not completely returned to normal, it has slowly entered the stage of renal function damage from the stage of renal failure."

"Of course, there are still 20% of patients whose renal function has been damaged for a long time, and the recovery is not obvious, and the creatinine is still 600 to 700. From the overall results, the treatment results are very optimistic."

"In the second course of treatment, the effect was more obvious. Almost all patients who improved in the first course of treatment, their creatinine index dropped to 100+."

"These patients have changed from kidney failure to nephritis. As long as you pay attention to your body and don't do things that damage your kidney function, they should return to the normal value within a month."

"90% of the remaining patients have also improved, and their creatinine has dropped to less than 400. This situation is understandable, because their condition is relatively serious, and it may take several courses of treatment to return to the ideal value."

"Even so, it has changed from renal failure to impaired renal function. As long as other drugs are taken, the disease can be controlled. Compared with the previous helplessness and only dialysis to save lives, it is much better."

"At least they don't need dialysis treatment, they just need to take normal medicine."

"In general, after two courses of treatment, 80% of patients with mild renal failure have basically returned to normal."

"There are also 17% of severe patients, whose condition has improved significantly and no longer requires dialysis treatment."

"Of course, this is also related to their young age, they are all young and middle-aged, and they have no serious underlying diseases."

"The remaining 3% of patients are either seriously ill or weak, and their renal failure is irreversible. There is nothing they can do, so they can only be transferred to the dialysis room."

Seeing this, Doctor Tang couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

He couldn't help thinking of the few patients who had been admitted some time ago.

The 18-year-old girl with kidney failure who was delayed by her illiterate mother was seriously ill when she came here. After two courses of treatment, she no longer needed dialysis and had to pay more than 10,000 yuan for testing drugs. The follow-up treatment should not be successful. question.

The underage high school student could only eat in the cafeteria during the clinical period and cut off the excessive protein intake. After two courses of treatment, he soon returned to normal. After seeing such obvious effects, the parents finally realized the excessive protein intake. The hazards of supplements, no longer insist.

The 22-year-old college student recovered his kidney function after quitting a large amount of high-sugar carbonated drinks. This trial must have impressed him deeply. I hope he can learn a lesson and maintain a healthy eating habit after he is discharged from the hospital.

There is also the 32-year-old migrant worker who works overtime for a long time, eats too much, and has an extremely irregular schedule. After experiencing the real life-and-death crisis, he must also be able to understand life from it and start to cherish his own life.

Thinking about it, the corners of Dr. Tang's mouth slowly raised, revealing a long-lost smile.

"It seems that Sanqing, a drug for treating chronic kidney disease, is really miraculous in its effect on glomerular damage, enough to become a basic first-line drug."

"Those patients with chronic kidney disease, as long as they are not in the middle and late stages of old age and frailty, they should be able to be rescued."

"Patients with kidney failure are finally saved."

Thinking of this, he couldn't help being excited, and at the same time, there was a trace of regret in the excitement.

"It's a pity that this drug came too late, and there are so many patients in the dialysis room that it can't be used."

"It is a miracle drug for patients with mild renal failure, but for those patients with severe uremia who have been on dialysis for many years, even this drug is useless."

Dr. Tang couldn't restrain the agitation in his heart, stood up abruptly, and walked to the dialysis room.

There are patients he has dealt with for many years, all of them are in the passing of life, waiting for the arrival of the last moment.

He wanted to take a look and tell these old acquaintances that science and technology developed rapidly, and now there are drugs that can save kidney failure.

As long as you continue to wait, maybe in a few years, a turning point will appear, and there is still hope in life.

Dr. Tang's footsteps were like the wind, and he quickly walked out of the inpatient building, walked through a small path, and walked into an open door.

As soon as I entered here, I saw some strange crowds.

Their faces were dark, and they staggered as they walked. Their exposed arms were covered with scars and bulging fleshy balls. Varicose veins lay on them like earthworms, with needle holes all around them. The whole arm looked hideous. , people dare not look directly at.

These people with numb eyes and looking like X addicts are uremic patients.

They suffered from a disease of immortality, and they had to be kept alive by machines for the rest of their lives.

I have to come to the hospital 2-3 times a week, all year round, even on holidays, otherwise I will be in danger of life.

Apart from a kidney transplant, there is no way to save them.

But waiting for a matching kidney, the odds are not much higher than winning the lottery.

Even with lifelong dialysis, each person can only live another ten or twenty years. Such expensive expenses are simply beyond the affordability of ordinary families.

This is also the reason why the mortality rate of uremia remains high every year.

Most people died before their final days due to financial conditions or complications.

Everyone here, no matter how happy they were before, will be dragged into debt.

Due to long-term dialysis, every family can't make ends meet, and soon they will be left with nothing.

The elderly parents of many patients have to travel around at their supposedly happy age, earning meager income to pay for dialysis.

Most people's ordinary day, for them, it is a burden to move forward.

For these patients, the physical pain can be persisted, and the mental pain is the most painful.

As soon as I open my eyes every day, I see life slipping through my fingers day by day. This kind of torture is already the lightest.

Compared with illness, loneliness is the biggest complication, always destroying their lives invisible.

Once sick, relatives, friends, wives and husbands will become increasingly alienated and eventually leave one by one.

Only the closest family members are left, and seeing their relatives getting more and more tired and their hunched backs, but I can only watch from the sidelines, powerless, this is the greatest pain.

Living under depression for a long time has turned them into a group of lonely travelers who come and go alone.

They lived humble lives, exhausted all their strength, and fought unyieldingly against the disease.

There was nothing left but that faint glimmer of hope.

"Doctor Tang, you are here."

"Here we come."

"have you eaten?"

"how are things?"

When the patients on the road saw Dr. Tang, they stopped one after another, with a flash of light in their eyes, and greeted him warmly as if seeing an old friend.

Most of the patients just nodded their heads and exhausted all their energy.

Some patients still have a little strength to squeeze out a flower from the wrinkles on their faces to express their joy.

There are also some new patients who have precious vitality left in their bodies, so they can wave their hands and ask a few words.

The smile on Dr. Tang's face is as warm as the spring breeze, and he warmly responds to the familiar patients.

"Old Song, how do you feel? You must come for dialysis on time."

"Your son's grades are alright. After another year, he will graduate next year. You can breathe a sigh of relief if you find a good job."

"Xiao Bei, are your parents okay recently?"

"No matter how tiring you are on the construction site, you have to urge them to eat on time, and breakfast can no longer be skipped."

"This is the clothes that Nurse Li bought for you. He looks very energetic, and he is a handsome guy again."

"Uncle Zhang, why did you come here by yourself today, and your daughter didn't come with you?"

"Ah, she gave birth to a son. Congratulations. Your family has three generations under one roof. It's really enviable."

"Oh, the dialysis room inside is full, and you are queuing up. It's okay to wait, just wait."

A middle-aged man with dark skin and a face full of vicissitudes suddenly grabbed Dr. Tang's hand, with pain and confusion intertwined on his face, and complained as if to vent.

"Doctor Tang, what should I do? I still can't accept that I have uremia. I'm still young. I'm only in my 40s. My son is still studying, so I don't have a job. Now I live on subsistence allowances every day, and my wife also ran away. . ""

"I've been like this for the rest of my life, but what should he do? Woooooo~"

As he was talking, the man broke down completely and burst into tears in public.

The patients next to him seemed to be familiar with this, and they didn't have any strange expressions, they just sighed.

Dr. Tang was not surprised. Scenes like this happened every day. Most patients could not accept this sudden change of fate when they first came in. They would not accept the reality until one or two years later. Finally face it calmly.

In the past, every time he came here, he would encounter a few patients who collapsed, some beat the wall like crazy, some cried with their heads in their arms, and some wept silently.

Every time he faced the patient's soul torture of "Can I still be saved?", he couldn't answer and could only respond in silence.

In this way, the mood will become as depressed as that of the patient, which cannot be relieved for a long time, and even affects the mood after get off work.

Over time, he didn't dare to come often.

But today, everything is different.

He knows what these people need most.

Hope, hope, still hope.

Before, he couldn't give it, but now, he can.

Doctor Tang hugged the collapsed middle-aged man and patted him on the back lightly, just like a kind old father.

After a few minutes, the patient's emotions were vented and his calm gradually returned.

He took the tissue handed by someone else, wiped the tears off his face, and apologized awkwardly.

"Doctor Tang, I, I don't know why, I received a call from my son's school today, saying that I have to pay for medical insurance, and I can't get it out for hundreds of dollars. I kept thinking and thinking, and felt that I was too useless. Somewhat out of control."

Doctor Tang smiled understandingly, and comforted: "It's okay, everyone will have their own difficulties when they get this disease, you have a son by your side, at least you have a companion, compared to those who are alone, it's better Some. Say yes."

The man's eyes lit up in an instant, and he nodded: "That's right, my son is sensible. He can already cook egg fried rice at the age of ten, and his academic performance never worries me."

"Now I look at him every day, so I have the strength to live. I must persevere, watch him grow up, marry him a wife, and wait until I have a grandson." He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, His eyes slowly became firm.

"Believe me, keep going, you will definitely be able to wait until that day." Dr. Tang patted him on the shoulder and said.

He immediately turned to everyone, and said slowly: "When most of you come in, you will definitely think to yourself, it's over, you can't leave here for the rest of your life, and you can only wait for death in pain."

"If you have a good fate, your family members will never leave you and accompany you for dialysis. If you have a bad fate, you can only bear it silently."

"But I have good news for you today."

As soon as the words fell, everyone pricked up their ears, turned their eyes in unison, and stared at him together.

"Perhaps, in the not-too-distant future, your illness will be cured."

"In the past two or three months, I have been participating in a clinical trial of a new drug."

"This drug is developed by Sanqing Group. It is a drug for chronic kidney disease and can treat early renal failure well."

"Although it can't do anything for you severe patients who have been on dialysis for several years, for those mild to moderate patients with renal impairment and early renal failure, after two courses of treatment, 90% of the patients were cured and got rid of the disease. The tragic end of the dialysis machine."

"What I want to tell you is that no matter how painful it is, there must be hope."

"The development of science and technology is changing with each passing day. I was still terminally ill yesterday. In a few years, it may not be the case."

"Even for cancer, a few years ago there was no cure, and we could only wait for death, but today cancer is no longer an incurable disease."

"Think about your loved ones, think about your own future, and have hope in life."

"The world is getting better every day, but this kind of goodness can only be experienced deeper after experiencing disappointment and despair."

Doctor Tang's face was calm, but the words he said were astonishing, which caused an uproar in the entire dialysis building.

The patients were completely boiling, and rushed towards him, forming a circle.

Countless questions came out of their mouths.

"Really?"

"Sanqing's medicine should be real. I'm taking its generic medicine now, which is no worse than imported medicine."

"There is such a magical medicine, why can't we use it?"

"If I had known why I had to do it today, it would have been nice if I would get sick a few years later."

"Doctor Tang, I think I can still save it. I have only been on dialysis for a year. Can I apply to join that clinical trial?"

"That's right, let's try a dead horse as a living horse doctor. I don't think it will be so bad no matter how bad it is. Even if I take medicine and die, I will admit it."

"Don't talk nonsense, let's listen to the doctor. Now this medicine can't save us. Maybe in a few years there will be a new medicine that can cure uremia."

"Haha, I'm already 90 years old, I probably won't be able to wait, you are still young, live well one by one, don't cry anymore."

Amid the din, an old man with all white hair, sitting on a chair, suddenly wept with joy and laughed heartily.

This laughter infected other people, and slowly, bursts of laughter resounded throughout the waiting room.

The patients who looked like walking corpses gradually became brighter in their eyes, no longer cloudy and numb, and there was a faint light on their faces.

Seeing the changes in the patient, Dr. Tang immediately sighed.

He thought to himself while answering the patient's questions in detail.

"This is the so-called hope. It's really a strong medicine. Although it can't kill the dead, it can make the patients live more human."

Soon, after dealing with the patients outside, he walked into the dialysis room inside.

In the spacious room, there are densely packed beds on both sides, with patients lying on them.

In the past, when he came here, the patients were silent. Except for the flickering of the dialysis machine and the occasional figure of the nurse during the shuttle, the atmosphere in the whole room was extremely depressing.

But now, every patient's eyes are wide open, moving with his figure.

They asked the same questions as the patients outside in unison.

Doctor Tang smiled and explained patiently again.
