Well the more surgery you have the more chance of something going wrong. Also if the fourth kidney gets rejected and has to be removed then presumably the person can go back onto dialysis as they still have the last working kidney which would be in better shape than the original ones.

I am not sure at what stage they would have to remove one of the kidneys or how many kidney transplants they would let you have. All depends why a transplant fails I presume.

What does this mean The Kidney also exhibits a parachymal bridge in the interpolar region suggesting a partially duplicated pelvicaliceal system?

This means that the kidney has a partially duplicated pelvicaliceal system in the interpolar region. This means that there are two separate drainage systems in the kidney in this area, instead of the usual single drainage system. One of the possible consequences of this duplication is an increased risk of urinary tract infections and kidney stones.
