they have tens of thousands of names on them, don't lost faith though, I was on it and am now off!! The more critical it is for you to get the transplant the farther up the list you will be, it also has to do with the matching of the blood. Have a bag packed at all times just in case.
In the UK the wait for a kidney is around 2.5 years.

∙ 15y agoIt depends on the transplant center you are going to. My friend just had her tranplant 3 months ago and was on the list for a month only. Before it used to be first come first served but now the patient who needs the transplant will be first on the list.

∙ 13y agoDepends on whether you had open or keyhold surgery. It also depends on what your job is as to when you can go back to it. But if you have keyhole surgery and say an office desk job you could be back at work after 2 or 3 weeks. Open surgery would take a lot longer. I had keyhole surgery to remove a kidney and was feeling great after 3 weeks.
