一人送往医院进行肾脏移植已经谈到他所面临的学习后,供体器官可能感染艾滋病毒的困境。托尼Gartside已经等了四年的器官捐赠才接到电话说一个肾脏和胰腺变得可用。放下电话时移植后的窗口太小了,他立即从他的家在普利茅斯牛津的操作。但到达后,他被告知的器官来自一种药物过量的受害者,这将是两周前的测试显示,如果他们无艾滋病毒。
肾移植手术花了10个小时左先生32钉在他的胃部感染。手术后,他病了好几天,甚至不能站直,并担心HIV的风险。两周后,HIV结果回来了,他感到欣慰的是检查是阴性。他已经完全康复了。
现在他已经为移植患者建立一个支持小组支持小组支持五月花患者通过移植程序。他解释说:“医生的临床经验可以告诉你会发生什么,在手术过程中,但他们没有什么要给病人发生现实的解释。
去年,在肾移植后感染寄生虫在威尔士两例死亡。
戴伦休斯,42,罗伯特吉姆斯图尔特,67,分别从移植供者携带了致命的蠕虫在他去世时肾脏器官。医生们不知道捐赠者有蜗轮蜗杆称为halicephalobus,生活在土壤和被发现在马,移植手术在加的夫的威尔士大学医院进行的。斯图尔特先生和休斯先生开始“迅速恶化”手术后死亡之后不到三周。
两人仅五例有记录的世界各地的部分和全部死于蠕虫感染。加的夫斯图尔特,先生,休斯先生,在十一月有2013的布里真德,肾移植,但都死在圣诞节前。
验尸检查发现他们都死于感染称为meningeoencephaltis这是由寄生虫引起的。
Man has to choose between possible death or HIV after being offered life-saving kidney from donor 'who may have been infected'A man rushed to hospital for a kidney transplant has spoken of the dilemma he faced after learning the donor organ could be infected with HIV.
Tony Gartside had waited four years for a donor organ before he finally got the call to say a kidney and pancreas had become available.The transplant window was so small that after putting the phone down at 3am, he was rushed from his home in Plymouth to Oxford for the operation.But upon arriving, he was told that the organs had come from the victim of a drugs overdose - and it would be two weeks before tests revealed if they were HIV free.Mr Gartside, 40, was born with type 1 diabetes, and his kidneys began to fail by the time he was 32.
He said: 'They showed me into a room and told me the donor organs had come from a death by drug overdose and asked if I still wanted to go ahead.'Because the person died by drug overdose, they wouldn't know whether the donor had HIV for two weeks.'It was a scary process having to say yes or no after sitting in the back of an ambulance for hours.'I thought: "Do I risk it and say yes, or do I say no and wait another 18 months, or even longer?"
'In the end, I went ahead with it.' The kidney transplant surgery took 10 hours and left Mr Gartside with 32 staples in his stomach.
After the surgery, he was sick for days, unable to even stand up straight, and was concerned about the risk of HIV.Two weeks later the HIV results came back - and were, to his relief, negative.He has since made a full recovery.Mr Gartside said: 'My diabetes has completely changed - it's amazing - and even that doesn't describe how good I feel.'It's a second chance and I will be forever grateful to the donor's parents for making that decision.'
Two weeks after the kidney transplant, the HIV results came back - and were negative+2Two weeks after the kidney transplant, the HIV results came back - and were negativeHe has now set up a support group for transplant patients - the Mayflower Support Group - which supports patients going through the transplant procedure.
He explained: 'Doctors have the clinical experience and can tell you what's going to happen during surgery, but they don't have a realistic explanation of what is going to happen for the patient.'It's good to have someone to talk to who has been through what they're about to go through.'The transplant has made me feel like I really want to give something back.'
Last year, two patients in Wales died after being given kidney transplants infected with a parasitic worm.Darren Hughes, 42, and Robert 'Jim' Stuart, 67, were each given a kidney from a transplant donor who was carrying the deadly worm in his organs when he died.Doctors were not aware the donor had the worm - known as Halicephalobus, which lives in soil and is found in horses - when the transplant operations were carried out at the University Hospital of Wales in Cardiff.
Mr Stuart and Mr Hughes began to 'deteriorate rapidly' after their surgery and died less than three weeks later.The two men are part of only five cases ever recorded across the world - and all have died from the worm infection.Mr Stuart, of Cardiff, and Mr Hughes, of Bridgend, had kidney transplants in November 2013 but both died before Christmas.A post-mortem examination revealed they both died from infection called Meningeoencephaltis which was caused by the parasitic worm.
