三病例中二源自糖尿病 肾衰竭末期患者剧增

上个月28日,我国一名旅游巴士司机获得身为幼教的妻子捐出肾脏,在经过六小时的手术后成功与“无肾人”绝缘,但是我国其实还有许多病患等待换肾的机会,只是国内捐肾几率非常低,以致病患几乎要等上九年才有机会。

据《8视界》的《狮城有约》指出,我国末期肾衰竭的病患人数增加超过1800人,创下了17年来的新高,而平均三个新病例中,就有两起是由糖尿病所引起的。

院方指出,全国疾病登记处所记载的新肾脏疾病患者数量增加显着,在2016年达到了1999年来最多的病患人数,即1889人。而随着人口老化,年长病患人数也呈现上升趋势,“求肾”者就更多了。

捐肾者非常少

新加坡中央医院肾科高级顾问医生陈确帅医生指出,每年有1800名肾衰竭末期患者,惟该医院每年仅约100人有机会接受肾脏移植手术,而剩余病患都必须进行日常的洗肾程序。

医生指出,换肾比洗肾好,因为洗肾的平均五年生存率只有约六成。

国大医院肾脏科高级顾问医生蔡弘锐医生表示,若要提高肾脏移植手术,首先必须要有肾脏来源,即进行活体捐献肾脏,但是活体捐献是个敏感课题。

院方表示,我国的肾脏捐献率非常低,而大部分成功进行肾脏移植手术的患者,捐肾者都是他们的家属。

医生指出,其实无论是患者或捐献者,大多都排斥活体捐献,因为他们除了不希望家人生病之外,更不希望透过家人的器官生存。

惟,医生强调,目前捐肾者在之后患上肾脏病的几率,不足一巴仙。
