Can you get terminated from your job for having kidney failure?

I don't think that just because a person's kidney has failed, he will be terminated from his job. Because it is not a kind of communicable disease that will pass from one employ to another. A person's efficiency in job is not counted from his disease, he have. But the quality and quantity of work he does in his office. So, if someone is fit to do the job, he/she will not be terminated from his job.
