It may take several extra hours before your body is given to the funeral home/whatever (while the donation surgery is being arranged).\n\nA very small inconvenience compared to the lives you'll be saving.

Yes. The reasons must be ascertained for failure.The causative factors should be treated.A compatible donor must be selected.And then a renal trasplantation must be planned.

Under a general anaesthetic, the new kidney is put into place, just above the groin. The artery to the kidney is sewn on to one of the lower abdominal arteries. The vein coming from the kidney is sewn on to one of the veins in the lower abdomen. The ureter which drains away urine is sewn into the wall of the bladder. Your own kidneys are not removed. A catheter is placed in the bladder and remains for 7 to 10 days until the bladder is healed. Sometimes the new kidney starts working at once. A lot of urine is passed. In a few patients, urine is not passed for some days, and occasionally not for some weeks: dialysis will continue to be needed during this time. Special drugs that suppress the so-called immune system are needed as soon as the kidney is put into place. These drugs aim to prevent the body from rejecting the new kidney. The drugs used are steroid (cortisone-like) drugs like prednisolone, together with azathioprine and cyclosporin. These drugs are taken as tablets once or twice a day. Some transplant centres use an additional drug, ATG, which has to be given directly into a large vein, usually in the neck. If the transplant is successful, with no complications, then the stay in hospital may be as short as 10 days. If there are problems the hospital stay may be several weeks.

I had a kidney biopsy done a couple years ago, and I was terrified going in. But it turned out to be a breeze. Tell your doctor in advance that you are afraid, and also talk ahead of time to the lab that will be taking the sample. When I had mine done, they gave me two different IV drugs (Versed was one, can't remember the other) to put me into a twilight-sleep, and I didn't feel anything at all. So ask the doctor and the lab if you can have something that will help calm you down, and so that you won't be fully awake during the actual procedure. \n\nMost important of all (for me, anyway), was to have my husband there with me during the procedure. It's comforting to have a loved one right there with you, to hold your hand, to ask questions you might not think of asking, and it also helps to have that extra pair of ears there to hear everything you are told - believe me, when it's happening to you, everything they say tends to go in one ear and right out the other. Ask if you can bring someone with you - your spouse/significant other, parent, best friend, whoever's presence would make you feel better.\n\n(For my kidney biopsy, they inserted a long needle-like tube in through my back, using ultrasound to guide them to position it properly, then the biopsy needle was inserted through that to retrieve the samples. I don't know if a liver biopsy procedure would be the same, but I imagine it would be close....)\n\nGood luck! You'll be fine, and lots of people will be pulling for you. {{{hugs}}}

The main job of your kidkeys is to clean certain waste products from your blood. They do this by carefully filtering your blood, and what they filter out becomes your urine. This means that when you pee, you are removing the waste products produced throughout your body which your kidneys expertly removed from your blood.  \n\nThis kidey's job is very important. If your kidneys stop working, these waste products can build up in your blood and over the course of a week or so will reach levels that can kill you. Fortunately, dialysis is a way to keep that from happening.\n\nDialysis is basically a way to have a machine play to the role of your kidneys and filter your blood for you. There are two main types of dialysis-- peritoneal dialysis and hemodialysis. In peritoneal dialysis, a tube is placed in your abdomen and your abdominal cavity is filled and flushed several times a day with a special fluid. In hemodialysis, needles are placed in your arm and your blood flows through a special machine. In either case, what is happening is that certain waste products are being removed from you blood, just like your kidneys would normally do. Both of the methods work, and your doctor can help you decide which is best for you.\n\nUnfortunately, people who begin dialysis often will require dialysis for the rest of their lives. Sometimes people can receive a kidney transplant. If you get a new kidney, you can stop dialysis since your new kidney can begin filtering your blood for you.\n\nStarting dialysis can be scary. It often means that a person's kidney disease has become worse. Still, people on dialysis lead full and productive lives. Even some famous actors and professional athletes have been on dialysis. Although it can seem scary at first, dialysis is a way to help people with serious kidney disease live a long and rich life.\n\nThe best person to talk to is your doctor. Your doctor can help you understand the details specific to you, and can explain more about what you can expect from dialysis.\n\nHope this helps!

There are several different ones you can do- liver/gall bladder, kidney, blood, lymph, and colon are the ones that come to mind right away.

Hello there,\n\nhere's a website that describes the entire procedure:  http://www.gicare.com/pated/epdlv02.htm

hopefully the ones donated will start doing their natural job in the sick person's body to restore the person to a healthy state. The 'bad' organs , such as bad kidneys are not always removed, just pushed to the side sort of. The "bad' organs which are removed will go to a pathology lab to closely identify the disease cause, some may be donated to science for research and teaching.

Check it out... I can answer seriously...\n\nI gave my kidney away to a friend 8 or 9 years ago. Honest and no joke. Our tissue matches up like brothers and he has not had an issue with rejection. My kidney dr. is all pissed at me though for not drinking enough water through the day... kidney stones and all...\n\n I have often wondered about the tissue though. What is the DNA of the grafting and connecting tissue from my old kidney to his body anyway?\n\n I won't even go into the spiritual side of it... Yes the Bearded One has a spiritual side...\n\n I'm watching this question though. Nice to know I'm not the only one who has thought about this...\n\nIf you ever want to give up a kidney however, Swedish Med on the hill in Seattle is THE BEST!!!\n\n The actually made me a steak, Rare! AT 4:AM!!!\n\nI also proposed to a nurse while in the morph drip... that was fun.\nGetting the cath out was a pain...\n\n But I'd do it again.

Is there anybody else in the family that could be a match? That's always a good place to look first. You have my prayers too hun. Try to find friends who may be a match too. Keep searching dear, you're right, God has a plan for you, and believe it's a new kidney. Good luck on your search
