My mother experienced this. I worked well. The dialysis was a different story but it helped to keep her alive until she received a kidney transplant. Praise the Lord

had a transplant (given to me from my mom) that lasted 11 years

My dad was an extremely good match, and so he was my donor. It worked great until 2010 when I had a rejection episode that my body never fully adjusted to and my creatinine levels have been rising since. Weren't many side effects beside the weight gain due to the Prednisone and the immunity issues. I will begin dialysis for the first time ever in early June.

30 years and counting!

I had my tranplant in June of this year and it is great....my bloodpressure and other readings are awesome.....

I actually received a kidney/pancreas TX in 2003. No episodes of rejection, but I now have medication related insomnia

transplant in 2006 and failed in 2008 so back on hemo since then waiting for a second kidney

In the going through the hoops stage...trying to get on the list!

It works great! Better than my own did. I have had it 32.5 years now. Amazing. At the time it was experimental and there was a 40 chance it would work for 5 years! I had many of the side effects from prednisone use especially weight gain. I had gastric bypass in Oct 2009 and am back to a healthy me. YES! I consider myself very healthy!

I've had two kidney transplants, one from my mother when i was 4 and the other when i was 15 from a cadaver kidney. I feel blessed to have had these opportunities fro re-life and hope to experience for feeling of peeing once again.
