What are the advantages of kidney dialysis over kidney transplant?
There aren't really any advantages over a kidney transplant, as dialysis is used to keep patients alive while they wait for a transplant. Patients are always on the waiting list for a transplant, which shows that there isn't really any benefit.
What is something in a body that needs to be replaced soon if damaged but you could still be alive and awake before it is replaced?
I'm writing a story in which a man is in a wreck. He's alive and awake, but it in the hospital waiting on a transplant. Without it he may not make it. Is this a possible situation? And if so, what organ or such would best match this scenario?

What if you can't get on the transplant list for a heart?
If you cannot get on a transplant list, there is probably a genuine reason why transplantation is unlikey to work for you. Criteria for going on the waiting list include a minimum of 50% likely hood that you will be alive in 5 years after the transplant (which is actually quite a low requirement, when you consider it). There is also an assessment which analyses your likelihood of adhering to the strict drug regime required after transplantation - clearly having a transplant but not adhering to the aftercare makes the original transplant quite useless. However very few people are actually ruled out on this latter criteria. What's more likely to happen, if for some almost minor reason you should not be on the waiting list, is that you will be added to the list (to save "disappointment"), then organs will be allocated according to "need" and "best chance of a decent quality of life afterwards". Having said that, most patients know on some level whether they have been added to the list "to avoid disappointment", or whether they really have a chance of getting a transplant. If you can't get on a waiting list, your alternatives include trying a different country, taking part in experimental trials, and possibly forms of pacemaker surgery.
Are organ transplants a use of good resources?
They would only be funded if the outcome was expected to be favorable. (Since they are very expensive, there has to be a reasonable expectation of a good outcome.) To be put on the transplant waiting list in the UK, there has to be a 50% or higher expectation of the patient being alive in 5 years. If the probability falls below 50%, the patient is removed from the waiting list.
Do mice eat people?
Mice only eat people if there's a dead body lying in front of them & they're hungry. They won't actually try to eat you whilst you're alive.
What are the chances of being a kidney match?
One of the underlining principles is that a patient can only be defined as "suitable for transplantation" if they have at least a 50% probability of still being alive in 5 years after the transplant. This is the bare minimum for any type of transplant.Kidney transplants are one of the safest transplants there are. This is primarily because your original kidneys are not (usually) removed - it is simply a case of the third one being added in. This means that should the transplanted kidney not work for some reason, you should not be any worse off than you were originally whilst waiting for the transplant. Another advantage is dialysis - it's quite an effective "replacement" for a kidney, so unlike most other transplants you're not quite stuck in the scenario of gradually getting more and more ill - instead, there is some stability.Without actually knowing more about your medical scenario, it would be inappropriate to try and pinpoint an exact probability of your chances of survival. However, if a person were to choose what type of transplant to have, having a kidney transplant whilst you're still young is one of the safest options out of all those available.
