Chapter: 2493
"As I'm saying this, Chief Chen let out a sigh and said helplessly: 'The transplant window still has 15 days. Excluding pre-operative preparation time, you have at most 12 days to find a kidney source. If you can't find one, then it's really hopeless.'"
"Wang Dōng Xuě's tears suddenly spilled uncontrollably, streaming down her face."
"She quickly wiped away her tears and asked anxiously: 'Chief Chen, how did my father's condition drop so badly? His kidney is only two years post-transplant. You performed the transplant surgery yourself and said he wouldn't be in danger of death for at least 10 years.'"
"Chief Chen shook his head helplessly and said: 'This situation indeed far exceeds my estimates. I also can't understand why his kidney failure process developed so quickly. I've even tried to investigate whether there was some toxic substance involved, but couldn't find any leads.'"
"Wang Dōng Xuě pressed further: 'Chief Chen, are there substances that could cause rapid kidney failure in people?'"
"Chief Chen nodded and said: 'Some traditional Chinese medicines have strong nephrotoxicity. For example, Ma Dong Suo is one such substance. Although the government has long since banned it from medical records, some unscrupulous practitioners still secretly add it to prescriptions to achieve rapid effects, ultimately leading to severe kidney damage in patients...}"
"As he spoke, Chief Chen let out a sigh and said: 'Buying health products at random, using various traditional Chinese medicines without knowing what they are, and believing in rumors about self-care methods have all become major causes of kidney failure among the elderly...'"
"Moreover, these older people are easily deceived by false advertisements on TV and social media, lacking the ability to distinguish between good and bad practitioners.'"
"The chief surgeon at our hospital has a son who always looks down on him for becoming a doctor. He doesn't know how to distinguish between good and bad traditional Chinese medicine practitioners either and blindly believes in health programs on TV every day..."
"Last year, he felt like he had some urinary frequency issues. According to the self-care advice from those TV shows, he made himself a traditional Chinese medicine prescription and drank three bowls of it every day, secretly drinking it for three days before suddenly developing acute kidney failure and being hospitalized..."

"The patient didn't survive even after being admitted to the hospital for 48 hours and eventually passed away."
Wang Dongxue listened carefully as Chen Zhuren recounted the case, recalling it all day long before opening her mouth. "Chen Zhuren, my father's illness before and after this incident, I'm sure I didn't see him taking any unknown medication, nor did I see him brewing his own Chinese medicine. There was no way he could have come into contact with Ma Dongliu..."
As she spoke, Wang Dongxue added, "After his last kidney transplant surgery, his overall physical condition was very healthy, with only mildly controlled diabetes. He had been taking metformin, but this medication is extremely safe for the kidneys and cannot cause acute kidney failure..."
Chen Zhuren nodded, saying, "What I just mentioned about Ma Dongliu is just an example, but the components that can trigger acute kidney failure are far from limited to Ma Dongliu. There are countless chemical compounds with extreme nephrotoxicity..."
Wang Dongxue asked curiously, "Chen Zhuren, is there any way to determine what caused my father's acute kidney failure?"
Chen Zhuren replied, "I've already sent his blood and urine samples to the laboratory for testing, but this series of tests is very complicated. It may take some time before we get a clear result."
As he spoke, he cautioned her, "Wang Dong, right now our top priority isn't figuring out what caused your father's kidney failure, but rather resolving the kidney source issue as soon as possible - that's the key..."
Wang Dongxue let out a helpless sigh and murmured, "I've already raised the price to 10 million yuan this morning, but my father is an RH-negative blood type, and just that one thing rules out over 99% of the kidney sources..."
Chen Zhuren nodded thoughtfully, speaking seriously: "Wang Dong, our current situation is indeed very helpless. I've already mobilized my friends and acquaintances across the country to help you investigate, but so far there's been no news."
As he spoke, Chen Zhuren let out a sigh and whispered: "Wang Dong, I advise you to be mentally prepared..."
Wang Dongxue fell silent for a moment, slightly nodding her head, then helplessly said: "Thank you, Director. I understand now...I'll think of another plan..."
"Okay." Chen Zhuren consoled her: "But don't get too pessimistic. As a doctor, I've seen and heard many miracles over the years. There are many cases that still puzzle me to this day..." JrNovels.com
