This is one of the questions La Nueva Radio Suárez addressed with Dr. Carlos Alberdi, a specialist in nephrology.
When asked about organ donation, he explained that “in kidney disease there is a replacement treatment for kidney disease, which is dialysis. This treatment allows many people to be on a waiting list, which does not happen with other organs. In the case of the liver you don’t have a device to replace it, the same with the heart ”.
For this reason, perhaps, in what is most requested is the renal part, somehow it is there that more progress has been made in replacement care, this is the reality.
The specialist doctor reflected, saying that “I have been doing this for more than 30 years. Organ transplants have become much more frequent, the laws have changed for the better here in Argentina, there are many more transplants. But the absolute reality is that only once here in Coronel Suárez, I mean Suárez and the whole area of influence, have we had an ablation. “
I continue to express that “that is to say that here in Suárez there was a donor to do a transplant only once. Taking this parameter, although the country has improved a lot, I take that figure as a sample of the population “.
Coronel Suárez was ablated only once, it was a very young girl from Huanguelén and all donated organs were used.
Reflecting further, he asked himself: “How much is still missing? Much more is missing. Although we are in a small population, cases have occurred many times, many that have not come to naught for different reasons” indicated Dr. Carlos Alberdi.
