understand the causes of kidney failure
Fausto Silva, better known as Faustão, was admitted to Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein, in São Paulo, due to the worsening of a chronic kidney disease. The presenter had to undergo a kidney transplant, after having faced serious heart failure just six months earlier. It is important to understand the causes of chronic kidney failure and the treatment options available to those facing this condition.
Understanding chronic kidney disease
Chronic kidney disease is a serious condition in which the kidneys progressively lose the ability to filter metabolic waste from the blood. Among the most common causes are diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, as well as genetic conditions such as polycystic kidney disease.
Symptoms can range from frequent urination at night to fatigue, nausea, itching and swelling of the body. Early diagnosis and appropriate treatment are essential to manage the progression of the disease and improve patients' quality of life.
The treatment of chronic renal failure varies depending on the stage of the disease and the individual needs of each patient. This may include nutritional measures to control blood pressure and reduce the burden on the kidneys, as well as medications to slow the progression of the disease.Â
In advanced stages, dialysis may be necessary to filter the blood of waste and excess fluid. However, for many patients, kidney transplantation is the best option, offering the chance of a more normal life and reducing dependence on kidney replacement treatments.
The case of the presenter
After undergoing a heart transplant in August 2023, Fausto Silva faced new surgery at the Albert Einstein Hospital, in São Paulo, this Monday (26). This time, it was a kidney transplant, necessary due to the worsening of a chronic kidney disease. The surgery went without complications, according to the hospital.
According to a statement from Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein, Faustão was admitted on February 25th for preparations for a kidney transplant, after the hospital was contacted by the Transplant Center of the State of São Paulo. The surgery was uneventful, and Faustão will remain under observation to ensure the adaptation of the new organ and the necessary clinical monitoring.
Family members reported that, when the presenter underwent a heart transplant the previous year, his kidneys were already compromised, leading him to undergo hemodialysis. The former Globo player waited two months on the waiting list for a kidney transplant. The kidney donor was Fábio Cordeiro da Silva, an amateur football player who died due to a stroke.
