In fact, this is a question that is best answered by your nephrologist (a doctor that specializes in kidneys). If you've had a kidney transplant, you're taking a variety of drugs, some of which may create adverse reactions when combined with alcohol. Your doctor will know best how to answer this question because your doctor will understand your medical history, along with your currect regime of drugs. However, if your doctor gives you the go ahead, while abstaining from alcohol will surely do no harm and is the preferrable course of action - moderation is the best. As a transplant recipient, you're especially vulnerable to infection. And large quantities of alcohol will make your more susceptible to infection, not to mention the other host of unpleasant symptoms that can accompany binge drinking. Assuming you're an average size adult, a drink a day is probably OK.

How is kidney transplant done?
Based on the source of donated kidney, kidney transplant can be classified as deceased donor or living donor transplant. Answer: To the question of HOW a kidney transplant is done. The donor kidney will be extracted including part of the urinary tract and vein/arteries. The blood is extracted from the kidney and it is flushed clean. Then transported on ice to where the recipient is. The donor kidney is transplanted into the person in their lower abdomen. They join the veins/artery etc to the recipients, having disconnected them from the existing bad kidney. They do not take out the recipients bad kidneys (unless it has tumour) but leaves them there, as no point in performing unnecessary surgery.

Can you have a Kidney transplantation after kidney cancer?
You can but it would be pointless because it would have already spread around the body. Please ask your doctor or a kidney specialist for advice about this. Assuming the cancer is only in the kidney and has not spread further, a kidney transplant can be done. The anti-rejection drugs the person would need to take after transplant may have the effect of increasing the rate of growth of any cancers in the person's body so it is likely that the person would need to wait for some time to ensure the cancer has not spread before having a transplant and taking anti-rejection drugs.
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?
