одной моей родственнице на днях пересадили почку. как так получилось, что она оказалась без двух почек мы поговорим как-нибудь в разделе nutrition and self-care, а сегодня разберемся с kidney transplant surgery 👀

The kidneys are two bean-shaped organs located on each side of the spine just below the rib cage. Each is about the size of a fist. Their main function is to filter and remove waste, minerals and fluid from the blood by producing urine.

🫘 bean-shaped [biːn ʃeɪpt]- фасолевидный

🫘 fist [fɪst] - кулак

🫘 fluid [ˈfluːɪd] - жидкость

When kidneys lose this filtering ability, harmful levels of fluid and waste accumulate in the body, which can raise blood pressure and result in kidney failure (end-stage renal disease).

🫘 ability [əˈbɪlɪtɪ] - способность

🫘 harmful [ˈhɑːmf(ə)l] - вредный

🫘 accumulate [əˈkjuːmjʊleɪt] - накапливать

🫘 raise [reɪz] - поднимать

🫘 result in [rɪˈzʌlt ɪn] - привести к

🫘 kidney failure [ˈkɪdnɪ ˈfeɪljə] - почечная недостаточность

🫘 renal disease [ˈriːnl dɪˈziːz] - заболевание почек

COMMON CAUSES OF END-STAGE KIDNEY DISEASE INCLUDE:

• Diabetes

• Chronic, uncontrolled high blood pressure

• Chronic glomerulonephritis - an inflammation and eventual scarring of the tiny filters within the kidneys

• Polycystic kidney disease

🫘 glomerulonephritis [ˈglɒmərʊlənɪfraɪtɪs] - гломерулонефрит

🫘 inflammation [ɪnfləˈmeɪʃn] - воспаление

🫘 eventual [ɪˈvenʧʊ(ə)l] - в конечном счете

🫘 scarring [ˈskɑːrɪŋ] - рубцевание

🫘 within [wɪˈðɪn] - внутри

🫘 polycystic [ˈpɒlɪsɪstɪk] - поликистозный

During kidney transplant surgery, the donor kidney is placed in your lower abdomen. Blood vessels of the new kidney are attached to blood vessels in the lower part of your abdomen, just above one of your legs. The new kidney's urine tube (ureter) is connected to your bladder. Unless they are causing complications, your own kidneys are left in place.

🫘 during [ˈdjʊərɪŋ] - во время

🫘 to be placed in [pleɪst ɪn] - быть помещенным в*

🫘 lower abdomen [ˈləʊə ˈæbdəmən] - нижняя часть живота

🫘 blood vessels [blʌd vesls] - кровеносные сосуды

🫘 to be attached to [əˈtæʧt tuː] - быть прикрепленным к*

🫘 urine tube/ureter [ˈjʊərɪn tjuːb]/[jʊˈriːtə] - мочеточник

🫘 to be connected to [kəˈnektɪd tuː] - быть соединенным с*

🫘 bladder [ˈblædə] - мочевой пузырь

🫘 unless [ənˈles] - если не

🫘 to be left in place [left ɪn pleɪs] - быть оставленным на месте*

COMPLICATIONS OF THE PROCEDURE

Kidney transplant surgery carries a risk of significant complications, including:

• Blood clots and bleeding

• Leaking from or blockage of the tube that links the kidney to the bladder (ureter)

• Infection

• Failure or rejection of the donated kidney

• An infection or cancer that can be passed on from the donated kidney

• Death, heart attack and stroke

🫘 carry [ˈkærɪ] - нести

🫘 including [ɪnˈkluːdɪŋ] - включая

🫘 clots [klɒts] - сгустки, тромбы

🫘 leak [liːk] - протечка

🫘 blockage [ˈblɒkɪʤ] - блокада

🫘 rejection [rɪˈʤekʃn] - отказ

🫘 pass on [pɑːs ɒn] - передавать

🫘 heart attack [hɑːt əˈtæk] - сердечный приступ, инфаркт

🫘 stroke [strəʊk] - инсульт

RESULTS

After a successful kidney transplant, your new kidney will filter your blood, and you will no longer need dialysis.

🫘 dialysis [daɪˈælɪsɪs] - диализ

To prevent your body from rejecting your donor kidney, you'll need medications to suppress your immune system. Because these anti-rejection medications make your body more vulnerable to infection, your doctor may also prescribe antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal medications.

🫘 prevent [prɪˈvent] - предотвращать

🫘 suppress [səˈpres] - подавлять

🫘 vulnerable [ˈvʌln(ə)rəb(ə)l] - уязвимый

🫘 antibacterial [æntɪbækˈtɪərɪəl] - антибактериальный

🫘 antiviral [æntɪˈvaɪ(ə)r(ə)l] - противовирусный

🫘 antifungal [æntɪˈfʌŋgəl] - противогрибковый

After the transplant, be sure to perform skin self-checks and get checkups with a dermatologist to screen for skin cancer. Also, staying up to date with other cancer screening is strongly advised.

🫘 perform/get checkups [pəˈfɔːm]/[get ˈʧekʌps] - проводить/получать медицинские осмотры

🫘 screen for [skriːn for] - выявлять что-либо

🫘 stay up to date [steɪ ʌp tuː deɪt] - быть в курсе

🫘 to be strongly advised [ˈstrɒŋlɪ ədˈvaɪzd]- настоятельно рекомендуется*
