Why is kidneytransplant done?
Kidney transplants are performed when both of a person's kidneys no longer function (kidney failure) and the kidneys will not ever function again, this condition can be due to injury or disease. There is generally a waiting list for kidney transplants that patients will need to register for to wait for an appropriate donor. Usually patients will be on some form of dialysis until they receive the kidney transplant, and once the transplant is received the patient will need to continue on immunosuppressant drug therapy for the rest of their life to avoid their body rejecting the transplanted kidney.

Not necessarily. They can be caused by other prescription drugs (generally an issue if you are being treated for other health problems - you kidneys have to filter out all the drugs thay you have ever been prescribed, so if you're already on a lot you can get kidney cysts), or the can be a genetic thing or a birth defect. They are generally benign and don't get in the way of day-to-day life. If you ever do need a kidney transplant, they're nowhere near as scary/risky as you'd think.
