If you already had a kidney transplant and end up with two kidneys if you have to get another kidney transplant does that mean you end up with three kidneys?
There wouldn't be much need for doctors to gave a person a third kidney as the body originally had only two, therefore the third kidney would probably be rejected by the immune system.

Why can't a third kidney be replaced instead of adding a fourth?
Well the more surgery you have the more chance of something going wrong. Also if the fourth kidney gets rejected and has to be removed then presumably the person can go back onto dialysis as they still have the last working kidney which would be in better shape than the original ones. I am not sure at what stage they would have to remove one of the kidneys or how many kidney transplants they would let you have. All depends why a transplant fails I presume.
