Combined liver-kidney transplantation in one case / 中国组织工程研究

ABSTRACT

A 32-year old male who had liver cirrhosis accompanying with chronic renal insufficiency (uremia) was suffered from homochronous allograft transplantation of liver-kidney. The blood and other tissue typing were in concord between the donor and recipient. The liver transplantation took typical orthotopic transplantation technique while the kidney transplantation took general operation method to place the transplanted kidney at the recipient's right lilac fossa. Daclizumab was taken for the immunity induction treatment before transplantation while the trigeminy of tacrolimus+mycophemocate mofeil+methylprednisolone were taken as immunosuppressant after transplantation. The transplanted liver and kidney recovered well which could work at once without any serious complications after transplantation, suggesting that combined liver-kidney transplantation was an effective treatment method for homochronous function failure of liver and kidney characterizing by perfect tissue typing, excellent operation skill, reasonable usage of immunosuppresant being the key point of success for transplantation.
