Patient D. (24 years old, in Phu Tho) had symptoms of headache, fatigue, dizziness, and high blood pressure of unknown cause, so his family took him to Phu Tho Provincial General Hospital for examination.
After doing the test results, the doctor concluded that he had end-stage renal failure . Although he had previously been working normally, there were no signs of abnormal health.
The kidney donor was the patient's mother.
After being advised by doctors at the Kidney - Dialysis Center on treatment methods including periodic hemodialysis, peritoneal dialysis and renal replacement therapy and kidney transplantation, the patient and his family decided to choose a kidney transplant to avoid periodic hemodialysis. The kidney donor was the patient's mother.
On August 27, the surgery to remove a kidney from the mother and transplant it to the child was successfully performed by experts from Viet Duc Friendship Hospital and doctors from Phu Tho General Hospital.
Resident physician Duong Xuan Phuong, Head of the Department of Cardiovascular and Thoracic Surgery, Phu Tho General Hospital, said the team decided to take the left kidney from patient D.'s mother and transplant it into the patient. The transplanted kidney functioned well and produced urine immediately. After 16 days of kidney transplant, D.'s health was stable and he was discharged from the hospital.
Who is at risk for kidney failure?
Kidney failure is a dangerous disease that can threaten the patient's life. People at risk of kidney failure include:

- People who regularly have unhealthy diets.
- People with underlying medical conditions that are not well controlled. There are many cases of kidney failure due to diabetes. Depending on whether the disease has lasted for many years or is newly diagnosed, the degree of kidney failure will be different.
- People who do not have regular health check-ups and do not detect latent diseases in their bodies.
- Or there are cases where patients listen to information on the internet, word of mouth... to treat their illness with drugs and functional foods of unknown origin. This can easily lead to kidney poisoning.
What to do to prevent kidney failure
To reduce the risk of kidney failure, we need to have a scientific diet and control underlying diseases well. Specifically, we need to reduce salt intake, drink enough water during the day and reduce protein intake to avoid overloading the kidneys. Drinking enough water is not only good for kidney function but also good for the whole body.

In addition, eating salty foods increases the amount of salt taken into the body. And if this happens for a long time, it will overload the kidneys, causing high blood pressure and worsening kidney failure.
Along with that is a daily exercise regimen, a balanced diet and clean eating. It is necessary to limit salty foods, too sweet foods, too much fat, do not smoke or drink alcohol...
Besides, it is necessary to reduce stress in life. Changing lifestyle is very important to help prevent and stop complications of kidney failure. Besides, it is necessary to maintain regular health check-ups every 6 months - 1 year.
People with kidney disease need to follow their doctor's treatment regimen. Special attention should be paid to treating underlying diseases that cause kidney failure.
Doctors recommend that if there are any unusual signs in the body, patients should go to medical facilities for examination. Early detection and proper treatment will help make the treatment process more effective.
