Chapter 749: What Are They Rejecting?
Rejection reaction?
Upon hearing this term, Yu Dazhang couldn't help but pause, countless question marks flashing through his mind in an instant.
Mainly because he didn't know whether a rejection reaction occurring during the surrogacy process was normal.
This involved professional knowledge; as an outsider, he was completely unable to make an accurate judgment.
Seeing his expression, Captain Hua guessed what he was thinking.
"I have already asked relevant gynecology experts."
Captain Hua explained with a serious facial expression:
"The surface of the placenta has a placental membrane; the doctor's meaning is that it can be understood as a natural barrier."
"Therefore, although the surrogate mother has no genetic DNA connection with the fetus, due to the function of the placental barrier, the fetal and maternal blood circulations are kept independent."
He took a deep breath and summarized:
"So the fetus will not be rejected by the surrogate mother."
He spoke very in detail, and Yu Dazhang understood clearly.
In the end, it came down to one sentence: a rejection reaction will not occur during the surrogacy process.
"The doctor's meaning is..."
Yu Dazhang confirmed again:
"The placenta and the pregnant mother are two independent blood circulation systems?"
His current learning ability was incomparable to that of ordinary people, so he identified the key point after hearing it just once.
"Yes."
Captain Hua was somewhat surprised by Yu Dazhang's reaction speed; when he had communicated with the doctor before, it had taken him fully over ten minutes to understand.
"Then what is the cause of the rejection reaction?" Yu Dazhang pressed on.
Since it wasn't caused by surrogacy, there must be something else suspicious.
Moreover, judging by Captain Hua's words, this wasn't an isolated case.
Many women had shown the same symptoms, so it must be deliberate.
"It's not clear yet; the doctor said further examinations are needed."
Captain Hua said somewhat helplessly:
"Because the number of victimized women is truly too large, even the preliminary examinations haven't all been completed; waiting for the further examination results to come out, the earliest estimate is tomorrow."
It was clear he was also anxious, but there was no use rushing in such matters; the specific situation could only be known after the hospital finished the examinations.
Could it be a misdiagnosis? Regarding this point, Yu Dazhang actually knew a quick method to distinguish it.
He thought for a moment, then asked:
"Was the diagnosis of a rejection reaction given by one hospital, or by several hospitals simultaneously?"
If the victimized women at the same hospital showed a rejection reaction while other hospitals did not, it was highly likely that hospital had a problem.
Because these women were randomly taken to various hospitals, the diagnostic results should also be roughly the same.
"All the hospitals that treated them reached the same conclusion."
Captain Hua answered with a heavy, solemn expression:
"When I just said many women had a rejection reaction, that was actually just a relatively conservative estimate."
He paused, then continued explaining:
"According to feedback from the hospital side, every woman who underwent the relevant examinations, without exception, showed a rejection reaction."
"Since the current preliminary examinations have not yet been fully completed, I used the word 'many' to describe it."
Captain Hua took a deep breath and continued speaking:
"Judging by this situation, any woman who underwent surgery will ultimately present the same symptoms."
Hearing this, Yu Dazhang nodded, his eyebrows furrowing deeper and deeper.
Then the possibility of misdiagnosis could be ruled out.
The diagnostic results from so many hospitals were all the same; this meant the rejection reactions in these victimized women were not accidental.
But the problem was, transplanting a placenta would not cause maternal rejection.
Since that was the case, then what was the body rejecting?
Were organs transplanted into the bodies of these victimized women?
Although Yu Dazhang was not familiar with medical knowledge, he also knew the general cause of a rejection reaction.
In general, it is an immune response triggered when the immune system identifies and attacks foreign transplanted tissue or organs.
