What if the kidney transplantation is not working?
You can possibly die because your body can not flush out all the waste and urine. Alternate answer: If a kidney transplant fails the patient does have other options but action should probably be taken as quickly as possible. The failure of a kidney transplant means that the patient will either have to have another transplant or they will have to go back on dialysis until something else can be done. People can live normally with only one kidney.
What happens to native kidneys after transplant will they hurt?
The native kidneys stay in place after a kidney transplant, but they will atrophy. They will not hurt. They need to stay in place because the adrenal glands rest on top of them and you won't live without the adrenals. I have had a transplanted kidney for 17 years and have had no issues with the natives.
