In modern society, while many things are lacking, there's certainly no shortage of people.
Lin Lin, a top graduate from the clinical medicine department of a 985 medical university, faced...
Since the samples sent for testing have just been sent, it will take some time to wait for the results.
Lin Lin came to the operating table and frowned slightly when he looked at the kidneys. His eyes were full of thought and solemnity.
These kidneys nestle together and overlap in a strange posture, as if they were puzzle pieces maliciously manipulated by the hand of fate.
The distorted shape and unnatural outline exuded a strange aura, making the atmosphere in the entire operating room even more depressing.
During the examination, the high-density shadow area indicated in the report could not be formed by the overlapping of three kidneys.
This mystery hangs over everyone's heart like a heavy dark cloud.
Lin Lin slowly stretched out his gloved hand and very carefully touched one of the kidneys, feeling its unusual texture and temperature.
The touch from my fingertips was both strange and unsettling.
The surface of the kidney seemed to be unusually rough, but the temperature was normal. It seemed to be slightly worse than normal kidney tissue, but not almost the same.
Her mind raced, trying to find similar cases from the treasure trove of medical knowledge she had memorized.
However, my thoughts seemed to be trapped in a fog and I couldn't find a clear direction.
Lin Lin pursed his lips slightly and glanced at the deformed kidneys again.
She kept speculating about various possible causes of the disease in her mind, and each hypothesis was accompanied by huge risks and uncertainties.
Lin Lin carefully turned over the overlapping kidneys, trying to find some problems.
Because the kidneys are relatively fragile, her movements were gentle and cautious.
The deformed kidney trembled slightly under her touch, and every unusual texture and outline appeared more clearly before her eyes.
Her eyes were focused and sharp, not missing any details that might reveal the cause of the disease.
The air in the operating room seemed to freeze, and everyone was nervously watching Lin Lin's every move.
The slight sound of the instrument seemed particularly abrupt in the silence, as if reminding everyone of the urgency of time and the seriousness of the situation.
Fine beads of sweat gradually seeped out of Lin Lin's forehead, but her attention was completely focused on the kidneys in front of her, and she had no time to care about anything else.
When she touched the edge of the third kidney, it felt much rougher than the first layer.
Her fingers gently ran across the slightly raised surface, and the rough texture seemed to tell the unusual journey that this kidney had gone through.
Going deeper, the kidney tissue gradually thickens, and a lot of granular tissue can be felt.
The further inward you go, the larger the particles become, until they form a circular arc on one side.
Just as Lin Lin was about to investigate more carefully, a "sizzling" sound of electricity suddenly rang out, startling everyone.
The lights in the operating room flickered a few times, and the atmosphere became even more tense.
The place where the electric current was emitted just now was the third layer of kidney tissue that Lin Lin was examining. Fortunately, she was prepared and put on two layers of thick gloves in advance.
Although she was fine, her gloves were burnt black, and the people around her were also shocked.
Lin Lin's face was solemn, and a hint of alertness lingered in her eyes. She said to Zhao Ming across from her, "Check the third layer of his kidney tissue to see if there's something arc-shaped there. Be aware of any unexpected situations."
Just as Lin Lin said, Zhao Ming also found the same arc-shaped area on the kidney on the third layer.
His heartbeat involuntarily quickened a few beats, and a strong sense of unease surged in his heart.
Zhao Ming carefully stretched out his fingers and gently touched the arc-shaped area, trying to feel its texture and temperature.
The touch was somewhat strange, neither like normal kidney tissue nor like any diseased part he had ever seen.
At this moment, the results of the six samples previously sent to the laboratory came out.
Lin Lin, who was changing his gloves, took the report.
Lin Lin's eyes were focused and anxious as he quickly flipped through the report in his hand. The slight sound of the paper was particularly clear in the silent operating room.
She asked aloud, "How are the specimens numbered and sent for examination?"
Nan Sheng immediately replied, "According to the patient's position, mark them as R (right) 1, 2, 3 / L (left) 1, 2, 3."
Then he added: "The top layer is not numbered 1, and the order goes down in sequence."
Lin Lin nodded slightly, his brain quickly thinking about the relationship between these numbers and the report results.
Suddenly, Lin Lin asked Nan Sheng, "What is the function of kidney tissue in the body?"
Nan Sheng was slightly taken aback, then quickly replied, "The kidneys are important excretory organs in the human body. Their main functions include filtering blood, excreting metabolic waste and excess water, and maintaining the body's water, electrolyte, and acid-base balance."
"At the same time, the kidneys also have endocrine functions and can secrete a variety of hormones such as renin and erythropoietin, which participate in important physiological processes such as regulating blood pressure and promoting red blood cell production."
Lin Lin nodded slightly, but didn't say anything else. Instead, he started looking through the report again.
The operating room was silent as everyone waited for Lin Lin to make the next decision.
After a moment, Lin Lin said to Zhao Ming, "Check whether the three kidneys on both sides have a common connecting tube."
After hearing Lin Lin's instructions, Zhao Ming immediately took action.
He carefully used instruments to gently explore the tissue around the kidney, not missing any possible connection points, and examined them carefully.
"From the various data detected in the report, it seems that the electric current released from his body and the change in skin color are related to kidney number 3 on both sides." Lin Lin's voice was steady and powerful, echoing in the operating room.
After a tense search, Zhao Ming frowned slightly and said, "Kidneys 1/2 do have a tube connecting to kidney 3, but we can't be sure whether this tube is used for transportation or for some other purpose..."
The atmosphere in the operating room suddenly became more tense and depressing.
Everyone's eyes were focused on the pipeline pointed out by Zhao Ming, and their hearts were filled with confusion and anxiety.
Lin Lin's eyes became more serious. She leaned forward slightly and carefully observed the mysterious pipe.
"Don't act rashly," Lin Lin said calmly. "We need to further analyze the structure and possible functions of this pipeline."
Her voice echoed in the quiet operating room with a reassuring power.
Everyone's eyes were focused on her, waiting for the next instruction.
She pondered for a moment, then turned to look at the instrument next to her and said, "Check the patient's vital signs and various physiological indicators and record them."
Upon hearing this, Nan Sheng immediately took action and skillfully operated various instruments.
Numbers and curves were jumping on the instrument's display screen, and every change was carefully observed and recorded by them.
Lin Lin stared at the instruments intently, thinking about various possible situations in his mind.
The emergence of this pipeline completely exceeded their expectations. Is it a normal physiological structural variation or a manifestation of a disease? If it is intervened, what risks will it bring to patients?
