Kidney allocation is based on a mathematical formula that awards points for factors that can affect a successful transplant, such as time spent on the transplant list, the patient's health status, and age.
if your kidneys fail completely, then you can go on a transplant list and get a kidney transplant if your kidneys are failing the doctors will put you on dialysis ... trying to keep your blood clean... eventually your kidneys will fail and then you will get a transplant
people with bad kidneys
The part of the body that cleans blood is the kidney.

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.
There are only 2: 1) Dialysis - either hemodialysis or pertitoneal. 2) Kidney Transplant

The first organ transplant occurred in 1954, when Ronald Lee Herrick donated one of his kidneys to his brother, Richard. The surgery was led by Dr. Joseph Murray, who later won a Nobel prize for developing the surgical technique regarding kidney transplants.
When the kidney is no longer capable of functioning. However most people with failed nonfunctioning kidneys spend years (or even their entire life) on dialysis instead of getting a transplant.
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.
Your kidneys can only explode if you store too much water in them for too long because the water is putting pressure on your kidneys they cant take it anylonger and they explode you have to becareful because then you will have to have a transplant for 1 new kidney.
