That's a definite indication that you must immediately schedule an appointment with a

competent nephrologist to obtain a complete explanation of all of your options.

What are the requirements for kidney transplant?

Well obviously your kidney has to be failing. but other than that you have to have below 30% function in your kidney. Note: you can survive with only 1 kidney so its more like below 30% function in 1 kidney When your kidney function is down to 12 -15 % then you will need to do dialysis or have a kidney transplant. For a transplant the donor's kidney has to be suitable for you. Blood types and tissues types are matched to get as close a match as possible. Some body like a close relative is a good donor. The donor should have no major health problems and the recipient should have no other major health problems apart from the kidney failure.


Can kidney cancer cause chronic kidney failure?

Kidney cancer can potentially lead to chronic kidney failure, but this is not a common outcome. Kidney cancer, also known as renal cell carcinoma, primarily affects the tissues of the kidney, including the renal cells and tubules, and it often starts as a localized tumor within the kidney. The impact of kidney cancer on kidney function depends on several factors: Stage of Cancer: If kidney cancer is detected and treated at an early stage when it's still localized to the kidney, the risk of it causing chronic kidney failure is low. However, if the cancer has advanced and spread to surrounding tissues or other organs, it can affect kidney function. Treatment: The type of treatment used for kidney cancer can also impact kidney function. Surgery to remove the tumor, a portion of the kidney (partial nephrectomy), or the entire kidney (radical nephrectomy) is a common approach. In some cases, if only one kidney is affected or if the cancer is found at an early stage, surgical removal may not significantly impair kidney function. However, if both kidneys are affected, or if the tumor is large, surgery can result in reduced kidney function. Tumor Location: The location of the tumor within the kidney can affect its impact on kidney function. Tumors in certain parts of the kidney may be more likely to cause kidney obstruction, which can lead to impaired kidney function. Complications: Kidney cancer can lead to complications that affect kidney function indirectly. For example, if the cancer causes a blood clot that blocks the renal artery, it can lead to kidney ischemia and potentially contribute to kidney damage.


What if you have a kink in your ureter?

A Kink in your ureter, I just what is says.. It is a kink that is in the tube or tubes that go from your kidney's to your bladder. If there is a Kink it does not allow the urine from the kidney to drain properly. For me personally, it gave me cronic untreatable bladder infections, and consistent kidney infections. I also caused my kidney funtion to decline. By the time I had surgery my kidney function was only working at a 35% after the surgery, the infections went away, and my kidney function rose to 70%. However chronic infection did cause, damage to my kidney, and severe scar tissue around my bladder.


What is the percentage of pancreas transplants that are successful?

Pancreas transplants are often done with a kidney transplant, this is called an SPK (Simultaneous Pancreas Kidney) transplant and generally yields higher success than when the pancreas is transplanted alone. Nationally, the one-year success rate of combined pancreas/kidney transplants is 76 percent, but only about 50 percent of the pancreases transplanted without a kidney are still functioning after one year.
