Kidney Transplant List

My fiance had to get a kidney transplant Bouble and I wondered how long the transplant waiting list is.

It depends which country you live and the location in this country. Perform a search Yahoo! For "kidney" and your country, the first tube will probably Foundation renal or agency in your country. This will be your best place to start.

I am surprised that your fiance has not already discovered her nephrologist, because this topic should come up and the nephrologist would be a good idea.

I do not understand why she would need two kidneys, we really need one and why give both kidneys to a person when you can help two people. As members of the family healthy and good friends can offer to donate one of their kidneys! This reduction makes the waiting time for a few months and the kidneys are less likley to be dismissed from cadaver kidneys!

In addition, they are not normally remove the kidneys when they implant a donor as just an unnecessary risk. They sometimes remove the kidneys, it is established that they are the source of infection. Sometimes people with diabetes and renal insufficiency have a kidney and pancreas transplant preformed simultaneously.

As for waiting, again without knowing more specific information on where you are, people I work with 7-9 years previous estimate.

depends on where you live, and the number of lenders in your area .. some places, as long as 5 years ..
