Having been a child of renal problems and a kidney transplant receiptant in my adult years, I would suggest that you contact the local chapter of the National Kidney Foundation in your area. They may be able to give you information about clinical trials and they may be able to get your son into a trial. \n\nYou can find your local office of the National Kidney Foundation by going to http://www.kidney.org/ and clicking on the Find local offices and events link in the upper right hand corner. I wish you and your son the best of luck.

It's not that they work better together, it's just that you can't get a pancreas transplant without needing a kidney transplant as well.  The train of thought is that it is not worth all the antirejection meds and the surgery just to get off insulin shots, but it is if you are getting off insulin and dialysis.

U just need to keep trying. My ex-boyfriends mother was on kidney dialysis and she tried like 5 times before they accepted her

My understanding is that they will have a full and active life barring any problems with rejection and reactions to the anti rejection medications. It is alot better then the alternative which is being connected to a dialysis machine his whole life. Much more traumatic than the other. I happen to know that 2 girls have full lives and are much healtier and happier due to their transplants courtesy of my daughter and our gift of life to them. Their lives have changed in so many ways. One is going to college which she never thought she'd be able to and the little one can play and eat ice cream and do alot of things she couldn't before she got the life and I say LIFE changing transplant. Hope all goes well. It is truly a miracle the whole process, but it does come at a high price. Just know that the donor family waits for the dear letters from the recipients. It is a good thing to write to them and means sooo much. Let the family know that it is appreciated and that they are doing good. We prayed for the families that received our daughters organs.  In our experience it was the one thing that was good out of all the terrible things we went through. To be able to take away the pain of other families was a comfort to us. Especially when we knew that we were going to loose her.

First Heart Transplant\nOn December 3, 1967, South African surgeon Christiaan Barnard conducted the first heart transplant on 53-year-old Lewis Washkansky. The surgery was a success. However, the medications that were given to Washkansky to prevent his immune system from attacking the new heart also supressed his body's ability to fight off other illnesses. Eighteen days after the operation, Washkansky died of double pneumonia.

Your answer is Medicare, not Medicaid.  Medicare covers dialysis treatments for end-stage kidney disease patients.  Talk to your mother's facility manager or social worker where she gets dialysis and they will assist you in making sure Medicare pays for the dialysis.\n\nFor more information, read Medicare Coverage of Kidney Dialysis and Kidney Transplant Services found at:\nhttp://www.medicare.gov/Publications/Pubs/pdf/10128_LE.pdf

After being in college for almost five years Christiaan Neethling Barnard got his Master’s Degree from the University of Cape Town in 1953.\n  In the year of 1954, Chritiaan Neethling Barnard preformed the first ever successful kidney transplant and by the year 1961, he was made the head of cardio-thoracic surgery at his university, making him to be known as Dr. Barnard.

The pros:\n1) The dialysis machine takes over the work of the kidney, preventing the build-up of toxic metabolites.  Kidney failure is a spectrum of disease - there are acute causes (that may be reversible) and chronic causes (with slow decrease in kidney function).  In the worse case senario with complete lack of function, death would occur in a week. \n2) Dialysis can act as a bridge - to a kidney transplant if the damage is permanent, or until the body can heal itself and resume normal kidney function if the damage is not permanent.  \n3) Dialysis also allows a means to take off extra body water.  Urination is the main way the body gets rid of excess water - if the kidneys are not working properly, you may or may not be able to produce any urine.  Extra water causes diffuse swelling in the body tissues, including the lungs (which may cause trouble breathing). \n\nThe cons:\n1) Time.  Dialysis is done three times a week, usually for 3 hours.  For some people this may be done more frequently, especially if the nephrologist is trying to take off fluids.\n2) Risk of infection.  In order to do dialysis, a very large catheter is needed to allow sufficient blood flow.  If known in advance, a fistula is placed into the arm, and a needle is inserted into it each time (A fistula is surgically created by connecting a large artery in the arm to a large vein - this gives a high flow system).  Otherwise, a catheter is placed into the jugular vein or the femoral vein.   These are prone to become infected - either in the skin around it, or by allowing introduction of bacteria into the blood stream.\n3).  Medication changes.  Most medications have a known time that they are active in the body.  With renal failure, this is usually slowed down, but still occurs at a constant rate over time.  When dialysis starts, there is no longer a predictable amount of medication in your system.  Physicians have gotten pretty good at working around this, but it still can be an issue.\n4).  Hypotension (low blood pressure).  With kidney disease, it is very important to keep the blood pressure low - this prevents further damage to the kidney (most people on dialysis have some residual kidney function - just not enough to be sufficient).  However, while dialysis is being done, there are large changes in the amount of blood/fluid in circulation in the body.  This can cause abrupt lowering of blood pressure.   \n\nIf the kidney damage is reversible - and the patient could eventually come off of dialysis, the pros definately outweigh the cons.   If the kidney damage is permanent, and the patient is not a candidate for transplant, this has to be a very individualized answer - depending on their values and quality of life, the scale could tip in either direction........

Lets clarify this answer\n"92% at 1 year. \n80% at 5 years. \n54% at 10 years. "\nThis is graft survival (how long the kidney lasts)\nNot patient survival (if the kidney fails..the patient is still alive and can go back on dialysis to await another transplant)\nThe experts say that a patient with a functioning kidney transplant can expect to double the remaining life years they would have had on dialysis. Others sources say that transplant patients will live 10 years longer than would be expected on dialysis.
