Look up CRISPR, it is mindblowing the potential this technology has with being able to help people like OP' SO in the future.

Market must be flooded with imports from Hong Kong. Hope you get a good one.

Congratulations! My husband is currently on dialysis waiting for his second kidney transplant. Best of luck you you both!
burtsthename
Good luck to you. What happened to the first, if you don’t mind me asking?
OCanadian
The longevity of kidneys after transplant depends on many factors: deceased donor or living donor, dieting, medication, etc. 1/
OCanadian
Deceased donors can expect their kidneys to last 10 years+ and living donors can exceed 15-20 years+. Then again, some can last 2/
OCanadian
Over 40 years. Many kidney recipients who are young will need another transplant in their lifetime however. I’m a living donor and gave 3/
OCanadian
Gave my kidney to a friend. Best of luck to you guys!

Hope you get some of that good luck, too!

Is the donor aware, or is he still unconscious in the ice bath?

He’s deceased. He was 21 years old and he saved 4 lives.

Use more ice next time

Funny how the system is set up for generally poor and minority organs to go to the white and rich recipients.

1. My guy and I have that shirt. 2. Fucking fantastic, congrats!! 3. Is it PKD? Because my family's got that.
burtsthename
Yes! It’s brutal. He had a nephrectomy about 6 months ago and his kidney was the size of a baby.
HodgeNPodge
Congratulations to him, that is amazing!!!!
HodgeNPodge
Holy crap. My dad goes in for his next month. Hes at the end of the process and already got a transplant, but my brother is at the start...
burtsthename
It’s a tough recovery. Very painful, I’m afraid to say. Dr. Denny did ours. I wish your dad and brother a fast recovery.
HodgeNPodge
Hes going through OHSU. His doc figured out how to do it laparoscopically!!! One incision instead of 2! Our fingers are crossed!And thank u!
