What else can I help you with?
Is the kidney transplant is successful?
No it is not always successful. The body can reject the kidney or there may be other complications.
Can you get another kidney if you lost one of your own?
Probably not if you've just lost one (but the other one is working fine); if your one remaining kidney had servery reduced function, you would require a transplant. To get a kidney transplant, your kidney(s) must be functioning at 5% or lower.
How long can one live after kidney tranplant?
People can live a normal length of time after the transplant. How ling they will live is mostly determined by how old they are at the time, their general health other than the kidney disease, and how they do with the transplant.
Why would you need to get a kidney transplant?
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.
What are the requirements for kidney transplant?
Well obviously your kidney has to be failing. but other than that you have to have below 30% function in your kidney. Note: you can survive with only 1 kidney so its more like below 30% function in 1 kidney When your kidney function is down to 12 -15 % then you will need to do dialysis or have a kidney transplant. For a transplant the donor's kidney has to be suitable for you. Blood types and tissues types are matched to get as close a match as possible. Some body like a close relative is a good donor. The donor should have no major health problems and the recipient should have no other major health problems apart from the kidney failure.
Do doctors leave in the other kidney if one is transplanted?
When they do a kidney transplant, they just put in a new kidney. Doctors just attach the kidney to the vital organs needed to go to the bathroom. Doctors do leave the old, used kidney in.
What if the kidney transplantation is not working?
You can possibly die because your body can not flush out all the waste and urine. Alternate answer: If a kidney transplant fails the patient does have other options but action should probably be taken as quickly as possible. The failure of a kidney transplant means that the patient will either have to have another transplant or they will have to go back on dialysis until something else can be done. People can live normally with only one kidney.

Why are humans?

Why are kidney machines not a permanent cure?
