Kyrgyz visitor with chronic kidney disease receives timely treatment in Vietnam
VOV.VN - Hospital 199 under the Ministry of Public Security in Da Nang City has recently provided emergency treatment for a male tourist from Kyrgyzstan who came for medical care and dialysis during his trip to the central city of Vietnam.
Ferfilev Pavel Aleksandrov, 35, was admitted to the hospital with symptoms of headache, dizziness, and diarrhea.
Through necessary paraclinical tests, doctors diagnosed him with severe anemia, high uremic hemolysis syndrome, acute kidney failure, and chronic kidney disease (stage 5).
Doctors took initial steps to stabilize his health and then transferred him to the dialysis unit in the intensive care unit for hemodialysis.
According to Dr. Cao Thi Xoan from the Emergency Unit, the patient was staying at a hotel in An Hai Dong Ward of Son Tra District. For the past two weeks, he had frequently experienced fatigue, dizziness, and diarrhea 3-4 times a day. As a result, he sought a medical facility for examination and received timely dialysis.
Xoan said stage 5 is the most severe stage of chronic kidney disease, characterized by uremic syndrome, which can easily lead to death if the patient does not receive kidney replacement therapy.
Currently, the patient is in stable health condition, and he requested to be discharged on October 5.
