Chinanews, Beijing, Oct. 25 - An expert on organ transplant recently pointed1 out that although husband and wife had no blood relationship, kidney donation between them was more likely to succeed. In fact, the chance of success for kidney transplant between husband and wife is only next to that of twins.

 

The statement was made by Shi Bingyi, director of the Organ Transplant Center from the People’s Liberation Army No.2 Affiliated2 Hospital, at a national seminar on organ transplant.

 

In spite of this, Shi warned that donors3 still faced a great risk in such kidney transplant. In cases of patients suffering from kidney failure, their relatives should take a second thought before donating their kidneys.

 

Due to a serious lack of organ supply, experts have turned their attention to the patients’ relatives to provide kidneys for the patients. Kidney donation from living kidney donors refers to a kidney surgery in which people who have a close blood relationship donate their kidneys to their relatives. The donors are usually the parent, child, sister or brother of the patient.

 

Since husband and wife have no blood relationship, donation between the two is regarded as a special type of kidney donation from living kidney donors. Through clinical trials, doctors find that although there is no blood relationship between husband and wife, their chance of success in kidney donation is only next to that of twins.

 

“From medical point of view, we still don’t know why this happens. It might be because husband and wife have lived together for a long time, and their immune tolerance4 in organ transplantation has been raised,” said Shi.

 

Some domestic medical institutions have already started to practice such kidney transplantation.
