If a kidney does not work properly, some patients are put on dialysis, a machine that will do the work of the kidneys - filtering germs and other things from the body. Other times, people receive a kidney transplant. This is when the kidney of someone else is put into your body to work for you.

a kidney transplant is the placing of another persons kidney to take the place of the exiting malfunctioning kidney. The kidneys are the organs that filter metabolic waste product, toxins and impurity from the blood to form urine that is then eliminated from time to time. if these things are not removed from the system it results in the person being poisoned and wil rapidly lead to death.
If both of the patients kidney's have failed, they need a kidney transplant to live. (Dialysis is not a permenent solution). This is why kidney transplants happen. (Unfortunately kidney disease rarely affects just one kidney).
A kidney transplant is important because your kidney has stopped working so you need a new one to help filter your blood. Your blood can be filtered with one kidney. Unless you want to be hooked up to a machine it is best to have at least one kidney. If your kidneys is gone for too long then your blood will clog in one space and you will die.

One may need kidney surgery due to cancer of the kidney, kidney transplant or due to an addiction. Kidney surgery may also need to be performed if you have had a accident and the kidney needs repairing.
If their organ is failing to complete its job.
if your kidneys fail completely, then you can go on a transplant list and get a kidney transplant if your kidneys are failing the doctors will put you on dialysis ... trying to keep your blood clean... eventually your kidneys will fail and then you will get a transplant
If you have kidney failure then you will need to do dialysis or have a kidney transplant. If treatment is not received, the build up of toxins is fatal.
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.
Kidney failure and kidney rejection can still remain after kidney transplant.
An individual can look up information about kidney transplants online, but it would probably be best to talk to your doctor if you have any kidney transplant questions.
There wouldn't be much need for doctors to gave a person a third kidney as the body originally had only two, therefore the third kidney would probably be rejected by the immune system.
