You can possibly die because your body can not flush out all the waste and urine.

You should go back to the transplant doctor if anything really serious develops. High temperatures etc... Some problems which initially appear very serious may in fact just be infections, which are treatable with high dose (possibly IV) antibiotics. Sometimes it may take a 2-3 months for a complete recovery from the transplant. If the transplant does not appear to work, another may be necessary.
How does a kidney transplant work?
The donor kidney is taken from the donor and placed into the recipient. The kidney is usually placed below one of the recipient's own kidneys. The donated kidney is connected to the recipient's renal artery and renal vein and also connected to the bladder. Often the donated kidney starts functioning as soon as it is connected to the blood supply. Click on 'related links' below and you can see a picture of a typical transplant situation

Kidney and Liver. It's not that they're the most common operations, it's that the risk of death is lower. Heart transplants happen more than you'd think, but if it goes wrong you usually die.

However you cannot survive a few days with a heart that doesn't work.

How long is the wait for an organ transplant?
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.
