¡° Putting it on the child in front of you, you said that the family didn¡¯t understand the doctor¡¯s treatment plan, so they directly asked someone if they needed a bone marrow donation. Do you think these parents are eager to donate to their children? Thinking too much. Doctors watch too many ethics dramas in clinical practice.
You should also know that even if parents love their children very much, they must at least make some plans for their children. For example, do the parents need to pay for the child's subsequent treatment? How can the parents continue to raise the child if they become weak after the donation? These are practical issues that normal parents need to carefully consider before making a decision. Besides, everyone has kind hearts, and ordinary people will definitely have concerns for the sake of donors. This is human nature.
¡°These people can know the benefits of bone marrow transplantation to patients, and they must also know the risks of bone marrow transplantation to donors. As a result, people are rushing to ask doctors to perform bone marrow transplantation. It is conceivable that this goes against human instinct and raises a question mark. If you look carefully, you will find that the marriage relationship in this kind of family is generally unequal. The one party must have thought about it and asked the other party to donate. Either he/she can think of someone else who can donate, but it is impossible for him/her to donate by himself/herself.
When the internal medicine students said this, several surgical students suddenly understood what it meant.
"Who is asking this in a hurry? Is it the child's father or the child's mother?" asked classmate Wei Shangquan.
¡°I don¡¯t think either of them feels they need to donate.¡± Zhao Zhaowei and Zhang Desheng shook their heads.
"How do you know?"
"Do they need to make a phone call if they want to donate? One phone call after another, all to mobilize their family members to come to the hospital for examination."
"Hey, do they know that if this donation is made, the child will have no siblings? The probability of a successful match between the parents and the child is the highest, maybe 50%."
"Do you think they don't know? They know that their blood type is different from this child's. So they think they are not the first to be queued up."
Classmate Wei touched his chest: "I think about this -"
"You don't have to think about it." The two internal medicine classmates said sadly to the surgical classmates directly, "We can foresee that this family will definitely make a noise in the hospital next."
Classmate Pan Shihua couldn't help but add a scientific comment: "You need to educate these parents in advance. Hematopoietic stem cell matching does not depend on blood type."
The official scientific name of bone marrow transplantation has now been changed to hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. According to the source, it can be divided into bone marrow transplantation, peripheral blood hematopoietic stem cell transplantation and umbilical cord blood transplantation. Bone marrow transplantation becomes a type of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. It¡¯s just that people have been accustomed to it verbally and have not been able to change it for the time being, so they continue to call it bone marrow transplantation. From the very beginning of hematopoietic stem cell transplantation, only bone marrow transplantation did not depend on blood type, but mainly on leukocyte antigen HLA.
When it comes to transplantation, I have said before that the most fearful thing is rejection. Rejection is the body's immune system's natural attack on foreign matter that enters the body. Since the human immune system is not very intelligent, it can only analyze whether a foreign object is a foreign object or not, but cannot analyze whether the foreign object is good or bad. It attacks foreign objects indiscriminately. Because of this, whether it is a disease or a doctor who wants to implant a foreign object into the human body, the body's immune system must first recognize the foreign object. HLA can be regarded as one of the main indicators for the human immune system to determine whether it is one of its own.
