Ai Mei suffered from acute renal failure after massive liposuction

It was rumored that Li Jing suffered acute renal failure due to influenza and liposuction, and had to be intubated due to shortness of breath. However, her agent denied it. In this regard, doctors said that any surgery may cause heavy bleeding. If too much liposuction is performed, it may also cause excessive loss of body fluids and electrolyte imbalance in the body, leading to acute renal failure during the operation or within 24 hours after the operation.

Foreign countries recommend that liposuction should not exceed 5000cc at a time, while domestic doctors believe that 3000cc is safer to avoid fatal crises caused by large amounts of liposuction.

The main function of the kidneys is to filter out impurities in the body, recycle useful substances and excrete waste. All water in the body is exchanged through the kidneys. When the renal corpuscles lose a large amount of blood or are attacked by a viral infection, acute renal failure will occur. Dr. Zhong Jinyuan said that during liposuction surgery, pressure is usually applied at the same time to reduce the space where the fat is being extracted, in order to prevent body fluids from flowing into loose tissues instead of the heart and kidneys, thus causing an imbalance.

We often hear that some patients who have undergone liposuction faint when taking off their tights while going to the toilet or taking a shower. Dr. Zhong Jinyuan explained that this is most likely to happen within two days after liposuction because there is still a lot of space in the area where liposuction was done, and anesthesia is required during the operation. The anesthetic fluid will dilate the blood vessels within 24 hours and will expel excess body fluids, preventing these body fluids from flowing normally to the kidneys.

There have been case reports of beauty-conscious women who had a large amount of fat removed at one time, which damaged their blood vessels. As a result, a large number of fat particles entered the blood vessels and flowed to the lungs through the blood circulation, causing severe lung hypoxia. This resulted in pulmonary embolism and shock, and their lives were saved only after emergency treatment. If pulmonary embolism is not treated promptly, it is likely to cause cardiac and cerebral embolism, and eventually lead to renal embolism in the final stage, making it impossible for the body to compensate.

Taking foreign experience as an example, it is recommended that liposuction should not exceed 5000cc at a time. However, domestic doctors believe that liposuction should not exceed 3000cc. It must be calculated according to body proportions and weight. Otherwise, excessive liposuction will pose a threat to life. During the operation, the doctor should pay attention to the patient's various vital signs such as breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, and oxygen content in the blood. Adequate intravenous drips should be provided within 24 hours after the operation to dilute the fat particles in the blood. It is best to stay in the hospital for one day for observation after the operation and be discharged only after confirmation of normal condition.

Doctors also remind that aspirin, ginkgo and other drugs should not be taken before surgery to avoid bleeding or the chance of infection during or after surgery.
