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?
