* A small percentage of the population (approximately .07 percent) are born with more than two kidneys. An even smaller percentage (about .02 percent) are born with only one kidney. * The average adult kidney can process up to three gallons of liquid in a two-hour period. * The first successful kidney transplant recipient was Donald R. Sugeman of London, England. He received his kidney in 1954 and survived 12 years after receiving his kidney. * The youngest kidney recipient ever was 3-month old Aleisha C Christensen of the Netherlands. She was born with acute renal failure which necessitated the transplant. An 18-year-old cousin was the donor.
