[Explanation] On August 13, in the ward of the Organ Transplantation Center of Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital, a 27-year-old patient, Miumou, saw the donation to himself one week after receiving the world’s first combined pancreas-kidney transplantation from a living donor from a two relatives. Part of the father of the pancreas.
It is understood that the patient Miumou was diagnosed with type I diabetes, diabetic nephropathy, and his blood type was type A.
The patient's mother's blood type is AB, and the patient's father's blood type is A.
[Explanation] A week ago, with the assistance of the organ transplant center, endocrinology department, intensive care unit, anesthesiology department and operating room of the hospital, dozens of medical staff fully cooperated. The patient's father successfully donated part of the pancreas, and his mother successfully donated the left For the side kidney, this highly difficult pancreas-kidney transplantation operation was successfully completed in 12 hours.

This is a very, very important attempt. Moreover, the kidney is a cross-blood type, and the blood type does not match. Cross-blood kidney transplantation, living relative transplantation.
The cross-blood type refers to the possibility of a large number of anti-blood group antibodies in the recipient's body.
There are many anti-blood group antibodies. This antibody will attack your transplanted organs with different blood types, and the attacked organs will be rejected. This rejection is faster, more severe, more serious, and faster, so it is a threat to the kidneys. It's huge.
We use a set of our own based on global experience and a set of our own plan, that is, we can completely overcome blood type barriers and do kidney transplants for relatives.
This is not reported in the world, dual donors, two donors, one donated the pancreas, one donated the kidney to this patient, and the kidney is a cross-blood type kidney transplant.
[Explanation] Yang Hongji introduced that after the hospital's medical team studied and judged, and considered the patient's parents' wishes, the final decision was made to implement combined pancreas-kidney transplantation with living donors from both relatives.
The patient got rid of insulin treatment on the first day after the operation, and the blood sugar reached a normal state, and the parents who donated their organs quickly recovered to health.

Dual donors should be the best choice for the treatment of diabetic nephropathy. It is definitely better than any other option, because we can ensure that the donor and recipients can recover after a long-term, detailed and accurate evaluation. , The others cannot be done.
I think this is of great significance. This child has recovered to health, but in his body, not only his parents gave birth to him, but also a part of his father’s organs and a kidney of his mother. So the family’s The story is very touching.
[Explanation] In front of the hospital bed, the convalescent patient Miu held his father's hand tightly, with moist eyes.
When it comes to the contributions of his parents, Mu is very excited.
[Concurrent] Patient Miu
I didn't want them to donate at first, because I would feel that if they donate to me, the family will be uncomfortable in the future.
But this year, my body really couldn't stand it. They said that I had to donate it to me, otherwise I might not be able to go on.
Now that I have done it, my blood sugar has been controlled and no injections have been made. I feel that diabetes has passed.
I feel much better now, and I will only have to repay them slowly in the future.
