Buyan, a 54-year-old woman from Mongolia diagnosed with transplant renal insufficiency, renal anemia, hyperuricemia, and level 3 high blood pressure, successfully avoided a second kidney transplant through personalized treatment at Shijiazhuang Hetaiheng Hospital. Her 36-year battle with kidney disease, including one prior transplant, makes her recovery story a powerful example for patients facing complications after transplant surgery.[shijiazhuanghetaihenghospital]
A 36-Year Fight Against Kidney Disease
Buyan’s kidney disease journey began at age 18, when a physical exam revealed high blood pressure that eventually reached a dangerous 220/120mmHg, along with bilateral renal narrowing and creatinine levels rising to 700umol/l. In her own words: “The doctor told me I might have life risk at any time. I was so scared and I didn’t want to leave my relatives. There had no better treatments, dialysis or kidney transplant would be my last choice”.[shijiazhuanghetaihenghospital]
Complications After a First Kidney Transplant
As her condition worsened, Buyan underwent a kidney transplant 14 years ago, hoping it would give her a fresh start. However, complications developed with the transplanted kidney over time: “I was wrong, there was something wrong with the new kidney after 14 years,” she recalls. Facing the reality that her body could not tolerate the risks of a second transplant, she urgently needed an alternative approach to save her existing kidney: “I could not receive a kidney transplant again, my current physical condition could not bear the rejection after the kidney transplant, I must find a treatment that suits me to save my new kidney”.[shijiazhuanghetaihenghospital]
Seeking Treatment Beyond Mongolia's Borders
After exhausting treatment options across hospitals in Mongolia, Buyan’s family encouraged her to seek care overseas, ultimately leading her to Shijiazhuang Hetaiheng Hospital. She described this decision as “the wisest decision I have ever made”.[shijiazhuanghetaihenghospital]
Treatment Results: Stabilized Blood Pressure and Preserved Kidney Function
Following treatment, Buyan’s blood pressure stabilized and swelling in her lower limbs improved significantly. Her medical team confirmed that her existing transplanted kidney function could be repaired without requiring dialysis or a second transplant: “The doctor told me I could neither undergo dialysis nor receive a kidney transplant as long as my epibiotic kidney function could be repaired. Thanks to God, I met those lovely Chinese medical staffs”.[shijiazhuanghetaihenghospital]
