Ekaterina has been on the donor kidney waiting list for 2.5 years. Her kidneys have been getting progressively worse since she was 15. For the past six years she has been on dialysis, which caused new health problems. Finally, the time for her operation has come. However, her kidney donor had renal artery abnormality, which may cause complications during and after surgery.
Luckily, Ekaterina is in the hands of some of the most experienced Russian surgeons from the famous Sklifosovsky Institute. She is highly optimistic about her long-awaited operation and looking forward to restoring her health. Her goal is to be well enough to start a family of her own.
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.
