Much success to you dear. Kidney Transplantation is a very serious procedure. I had one 15 years ago ; so far everything is coming along just fine. I wish, and pray that everything works in your favor on this occasion.😊

This is great. How does one get three kidney transplants when my colleague can't even get one, and my colleague also had a clean bill of health aside from kidney failure, as well as a recognized medical disorder, just like this patient.
My colleague has never smoked or drank or has eaten bad foods. I just don't understand how someone can get three transplants, but, I'm happy for this patient.
Until then, my colleague has to hang in there as best as possible, and hopefully, the downturn from living on dialysis will not result in death.
