Head of Room (KARU) Hemodialysis unit, RSUD dr. Adnaan WD Payakumbuh also added that in the activities being held information will also be obtained regarding the steps that will be taken to undergo this therapy and how it will be funded.

“We hope that after attending this seminar and testimonials, our insight into various therapy options for CKD patients will increase so that patients will not hesitate to try other therapy modalities besides Hemodialysis, namely Kidney Transplantation and CAPD.” Obviously.

He also expressed his gratitude and appreciation for the support from Pernèfri West Sumatra Riau Kepri and IPDI PW West Sumatra, the Health Service and PPNI Payakumbuh City who provided support until the activity took place.

Among the speakers who attended the activity, Dr. Drajat Priyono, Sp.PD – KGH (Specialist in kidney and hypertension consultant), dr.

KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION IS SAFE

Meanwhile Dr. Drajat Priyono, Sp.PD – KGH (a specialist in internal medicine, kidney and hypertension consultant, said that kidney transplantation is safe, so people don’t need to be afraid, because many have already undergone it.

There are three types of kidney replacement therapy, but the best is kidney transplantation. The obstacle that exists to date is donors. Donor problems often result in the transplantation process being hampered. So far, family donors have been quite good, there have been no problems.

The question is whether the donor, whether family or other people who are donors, are safe, this is often a question. So far, people who donate a kidney can still live normally like normal people.

“Yes, we know that there are three types of kidney replacement therapy, namely hemodialysis, CAPD (Continuous Ambolatory Peritoneal Disease) and kidney transplantation. Indeed, to date the best thing is of course kidney transplantation. The question is whether the donor, whether family or other people who are donors, are safe, this is often a question. “So far, people who donate a kidney can still live normally like normal people,” stressed Drajat.

He also added, even with one kidney a person (donor) will still live a normal life. As an example, he mentioned a young donor in Jakarta, 20 years old, who gave a kidney to his uncle.

“In Jakarta there was a young donor aged 20, he gave a kidney to his uncle who was 52 years old. What does this mean, we don’t need to worry about donating a kidney and can live a healthy life as long as we maintain our health, have regular control so we can avoid various diseases. he said.

Because it’s useless if you have two kidneys but have an unhealthy/haphazard lifestyle, always eating fast food that contains too many carbohydrates, fats and proteins, which makes the kidneys work harder, resulting in a short kidney lifespan.

Meanwhile, Dr. Yanuar Hamid, who underwent a kidney transplant, when giving testimony, stated that one of the causes of kidney failure is hypertension, which can be caused by hereditary factors. Meanwhile, the best potential donor for kidney transplantation is family.

“One of the causes of kidney failure is hypertension which can be caused by hereditary factors. “Meanwhile, the best potential donor for kidney transplantation is family,” he said.

He further said that in order to avoid rejection of the kidney received by the recipient’s body, the best donor is from a family with one mother and father.

“To avoid rejection in the body which could result in the kidney being received being damaged, the best donor is from a family with one mother and father.” Close the man who got the donor from his younger sister.

Transplantation is a series of medical procedures for the transfer of organs and/or organ tissue from the human body originating from one’s own body or another person’s body in the context of treatment to replace organs or organ tissue that are not functioning properly.

Quoted from the website p2ptm.kemkes.go.id, among the functions of the kidneys are removing waste products from the body, balancing body fluids, producing red blood cells, regulating blood pressure, filtering 120-150 liters of blood per day and activating Vitamin D for health. bones and teeth.
