2010-02-02公視晚間新聞(台大醫術大突破先生成功捐腎給妻)

"台灣的醫學研究、經常有領先全球的突破。像是我們知道、想要做腎臟移植、必須找到跟病人一樣血型的捐贈者、才能配對；也因為機率很低，所以很多病人都等不到換腎。不過、台大醫院最近突破了配對障礙，只要在手術前、先為病人做免疫球蛋白的注射、以及血漿的換置，就算血型等配對條件不符合、也可以進行器官移植。日前己有一位先生透過這項新技術、把一顆腎臟捐給了他的妻子。切下蛋糕，慶祝重生！夫妻兩人一人Ｂ型一人Ｏ型，組織抗原又不相合，受限於配對障礙，即使林先生有意將一顆腎臟捐給妻子，也愛莫能助。好在台大醫療團隊為林太太設計了個人化的治療計畫，林先生終於在去年成功將左腎捐給妻子。以腎臟移植為例，國內每年都有6000名病人等待捐贈，但捐贈來源少，而且捐贈者的血型和組織抗原等條件又要和受贈者相符，導致國內洗腎病人要等上30年，才等得到移植機會。而台大推出了為病人量身設計的治療計畫，在手術前先為病人做免疫球蛋白的注射和血漿的換置，因此即使血型等配對條件不符，也可以進行器官移植手術。這項量身訂做的新技術，可以運用在任何活體器官移植上，造福不少病患。但手術費用不便宜，健保也沒有給付，以林太
