Capítulo 929: Chapter 368: The More You Learn, the More Hopeless and Uneasy You Feel (2)

Director Jiang was also watching him expectantly.

“Thank you both for your kind support. I am downcast because my girlfriend unfortunately has chronic kidney failure. I studied so hard in the Nephrology departnt to find the best treatnt for her. But the more I learn, the more desperate and powerless I feel.”

Zhou Can didn’t hide anything and revealed the matter fully.

He always believed that as long as his dical skills were good enough, he could find a way to treat chronic kidney failure without a transplant.

In the past two months, the more Zhou Can learned, the more desperate he felt.

Chronic kidney failure is like a Pandora’s box; once opened, it cannot be stopped.

Director Jian and Director Jiang exchanged a glance, both feeling surprised to hear this news.

“Chronic kidney failure, once it begins, will continue to progress. All current dicines and treatnts can only slow the progression, not stop it. May I ask, what stage is your girlfriend’s condition at now?”

Director Jiang could only try his best to help Zhou Can.

Encountering such a situation is indeed a great misfortune.

“According to the dostic stages, it should still be in the compensatory stage!” Zhou Can felt sowhat ashad, only reminding his girlfriend to take her dication on ti and not urging her to go for checkups.

The last ti he saw her test results was two years ago.

So much ti had passed, and there must be so changes in her condition.

Thinking back to the road ho after eting the parents last ti, Su Qianqian suddenly ntioned wanting to undergo a kidney transplant surgery at a famous hospital in the capital.

Zhou Can felt a vague sense of unease.

“In the compensatory stage, the primary issue is kidney damage, but creatinine and urea nitrogen levels remain normal; it’s just the glorular filtration rate that decreases. According to foreign standards, her glorular filtration rate should be over 90 ml/min.”

Director Jiang ntioned this vital data to further confirm the condition of Zhou Can’s girlfriend.

In the dostic staging of chronic kidney failure, there are four stages: compensatory, decompensatory, renal failure, and the uremia stage, which is also known as end-stage chronic renal failure.

Generally, when it progresses to the renal failure stage, the patient’s digestive system is severely affected, leading to symptoms like loss of appetite, vomiting, nausea, dizziness, and fatigue.

The earlier it is discovered, the better.

It cannot be cured, but dication can control and slow down its progression.

Unfortunately, many people are not aware of the severity of this disease and often only go to the hospital for examination and treatnt when obvious symptoms occur. Therefore, it is often detected at the late stage of uremia.

At this point, aside from a kidney transplant, there is no other path for survival.

A kidney transplant involves several challenges, the first being the cost, which is generally around 400,000 yuan, an amount not every family can afford. If a family mber donates the kidney, the cost will be significantly lower.

Then there’s the issue of kidney matching and waiting. Many kidney transplant patients never receive a matched kidney source before they pass away.

Next is the risk of surgery itself and organ rejection.

Each person’s physical condition is different, and the strength of surgical teams varies, leading to different outcos.

Lastly, post-transplant, patients need to take anti-rejection drugs long-term and undergo regular renal function tests. Dostic anti-rejection drugs cost about 3,000 yuan a month at least over 1,000 yuan, while imported drugs cost around 10,000 yuan a month, at least 4,000 yuan.

Can you imagine how many families can afford these expensive treatnt costs?

Taking care of your kidneys, maintaining scientific and reasonable water intake, drinking less carbonated drinks, eating less high-salt high-sugar foods, staying up less late… these are all ways to protect your kidneys.

But few people manage to do this.

“It’s a bit embarrassing to say, but I only knew my girlfriend’s test results two years ago. Over the past two years, we have been dating, often being together, and I only ever cared if she took her dication on ti, hardly asking about anything else.”

Zhou Can said with sha.

“So you’re just dating, not married yet?”

Director Jiang’s eyes flickered.

“We are already discussing marriage! She is afraid of being a burden to , so she has been unwilling to marry.”

Zhou Can answered honestly.

“Xiao Zhou, I’ve been around and have seen lots of the world’s ups and downs. There’s a saying: ‘If one doesn’t consider himself, heaven and earth destroy him.’ Since you are still in the dating stage, I suggest you might consider decisively ending it.”

Director Jiang suggested this for Zhou Can’s sake.

Although a bit harsh, it is in Zhou Can’s best interest.

“Thank you for your kind intention, but I can’t abandon her.”

Zhou Can’s attitude was firm.

Now, their relationship is already very deep, and even when he first started dating her, Zhou Can had never chosen to give up.

As an adult and a doctor, when he first fell in love with Su Qianqian, he understood the horror of chronic kidney failure and prepared himself ntally.

“Since you cannot part with your feelings, I won’t be the villain advising you to give up. Bring her to the hospital tomorrow for a check-up to see how her kidney disease has progressed. By then, Director Jian and I, and even the entire team of chief physicians in Nephrology can convene for a consultation to provide the best treatnt plan.”

Director Jiang just gave a nod to the limit.

“That’s right, love and loyalty, although seemingly foolish, are the most precious things in the world. At its extre, human warmth is nothing but the love between a man and a woman. Bring her for a check-up tomorrow, and we will do our utmost to co up with the best treatnt plan.”

Director Jian also chid in.

Love is the most beautiful thing in the world, only that for so, love is pure and faithful, while for others, it’s a facade for lusting after the woman’s beauty, the man’s handsoness, or the other’s wealth.

Both Director Jiang and Director Jian are special-required specialists, very hard to get an appointnt with.

Both are willing to spare their precious ti to help Zhou Can’s girlfriend co up with a treatnt plan, showing their care for Zhou Can.

“I’ll try to bring her to the hospital for a checkup today, thank you both for your help. When the test results are out, I’ll seek your help again.” Zhou Can stood up and bowed to both of them.

“No need for that, no need, you’re a young man worthy of our help.”

Director Jiang waved repeatedly.

…

After Zhou Can left the office, he didn’t want to delay a second and imdiately called Su Qianqian.

“Hey, darling, why are you thinking of calling now? Aren’t you at work today?” Su Qianqian sounded particularly happy to receive his call.

Since eting Zhou Can’s parents last ti, her relationship with him had noticeably ward up.

Recently, both Zhou Can and her have been extrely busy with work.

Yet, their contact hasn’t reduced at all.

She constantly thinks about Zhou Can.

She couldn’t bear to imagine the impact on her if Zhou Can followed Director Jiang’s advice and broke up with her; the hurt would probably be unimaginably imnse.

“Qianqian, are you busy now?”

Zhou Can asked without beating around the bush.

“Super busy! I have a live stream in twenty minutes. My followers should reach twenty million today! What’s up?”

Su Qianqian said with a bit of pride.

“Have you had a kidney function test at the hospital recently?”

Zhou Can directly got to the point.

“Uh… I actually haven’t. I’ve been feeling fine and have been taking my dication on ti, so there’s no need for a checkup.” She hesitated for a mont before replying.

Her hesitation only heightened Zhou Can’s suspicion.

“Sure, you’re feeling fine, but doing a checkup can precisely know the progression of your kidney disease and is beneficial for dication use. I just got in touch with two special-required specialists in our departnt, and they agreed to help you devise the best treatnt plan. Can you put your work aside and co for a checkup?”

Zhou Can generally didn’t interfere with her work.

But this ti, concerning her health, he directly asked her to co to the hospital.

“Darling, I am really busy here! How about in a few days when I’m not so busy, I’ll take the ti to go to the hospital for a checkup? Also, I’m quite far from your Tuya Hospital. If I were to do it, I would choose a nearby hospital.”

She coquettishly refused to co over.

“How can work compare to the importance of your health? Don’t do your live stream today, co to Tuya Hospital imdiately. I’ll explain to Li Lao.”

Zhou Can is one of the company’s two major shareholders and indeed has this authority.

Besides, Li Lao is his good brother, inherently loyal and righteous. Upon hearing that Zhou Can wants his girlfriend to have a checkup, he would surely agree.

“They’re calling now; I won’t talk to you anymore! Your girlfriend is a public figure now. How can you casually change the promised live stream? I’ll go get my checkup when I’m not so busy, bye!”

She said, hanging up the phone directly.
