Title: double kidney transplants?
Post by: sullidog on October 20, 2010, 04:44:07 PM

I no a guy who had a double kidney transplant, he got it from a dead baby. It's been 26 years and both kidneys are still going strong! This is the first I've heard of transplanting both kidneys, but I suppose it's possible but sounds rare to me. Can anyone shed some light on these types of transplants?

Jess21 got two baby kidneys also.  I think from an 18 month old. She's doing great!
