Mrs. Chen attended Taipei Veterans General Hospital today ( 4 ) , Mr. Day held for their successful operation press conference , through tears and said "My husband is really heavily built ."
She said more than three years out of the hospital constantly with their husbands , because every time Chan with epilepsy onset , so has always been to " epilepsy " treatment, but no cause had been a long year, and finally in Taipei Veterans find out the cause , she first happy " can finally find out the cause of confrontation ," because when you can not find the cause , really helpless, she can cry the night .
But Mr. know on the liver transplant priority ranking is not optimistic , we need more cooperation, is still very worried . Thanksgiving Mrs. Chen said , they really are very fortunate to receive love to donate the liver, "Without the donated liver Buddha , I can not sit here today , Mr. , our family is no longer happy ." Chen wife said , so she and her husband have signed organ donation consent.
Auxiliary orthotopic liver transplantation in the world, some are still rare, and because citrullinemia liver transplantation in Taiwan have not yet heard , Taipei Veterans General Hospital , director of rare diseases Niu Tao Ming said , as chromosomes citrullinemia recessive genetic disease , that must be the parents of each with a mutated gene , with no clinical symptoms of carriers, but the next generation of every child , regardless of gender , 1/ 4 chance of suffering from this disease , there is neonatal onset and adult onset type] predilection 20-50 years old.
According to the prevalence estimate that Taiwan should have one case per twenty thousand people , that Taiwan has at least 1,100 cases , but in addition to other hospitals in the past few informed NTU , very few reported cases heard , Niu Ming said , because patients are suddenly lost consciousness after the onset of elevated blood ammonia or seizures, if not alert physicians often difficult to find the cause , so he suspected cases have been underestimated in Taiwan , I am afraid that many cases been delayed .
Niu Tao confessed, citrullinemia first to be discovered , most cases of Japan, according to Japanese physicians statistics, due to alcohol and high sugar foods can induce elevated blood ammonia , so citrullinemia patients will not consciously avoid alcohol and high-sugar diet, too much eating peanuts and other hydrocarbon-containing foods high in acid and in vivo acids can be combined with food , so can delay the onset of the time .
Cattle Dominicans reminder , alcohol , colds and other drugs cause illness and acetaminophen in patients with liver citrullinemia cumulative citrulline will speed up , so pay attention , but Mr. Chen transplanted normal metabolic function of the liver , to be implanted hyperplasia of the liver to normal size , he would not have to worry about this problem.
