Elena is 53 and has lived with just one working kidney for the past 17 years. She’s been putting off transplant surgery, relying on dialysis. Having this procedure for so long, however, has caused new health risks. The time has come for Elena to stop ignoring the necessity of surgery. She must now get a healthy donor organ.
The operation could improve Elena’s quality of life. Presently, she can’t work due to her disability and has to be cared for by her son. She is also dependent on dialysis. If the surgery is successful, it will considerably improve her health and give her a new lease of life. However, Elena’s long-term use of dialysis may complicate her surgery and make it more dangerous.
Sklifosovsky Institute, aka Sklif: a name known to every Moscovite, and many Russians too. It is Europe's largest research and development facility for emergency medical care, complete with a hospital, research labs, surgery rooms, burn treatment facility and much more. Sklif's Emergency Intensive Care Unit is the clinic's busiest unit, with doctors and nurses tending to those whose lives are hanging by a thread. Here, battles against death are fought every minute of every day. It takes the best to win.
