Kidney transplant, how long of a wait,
I came down with kidney failure in August of 2013, I was diagnosed with a having a disease , IgA nephropathy, occurs when when a antibody called immunoglobulin A lodges in my kidneys , causing loss of kidney function, doctors tried to cure it with drugs,including Prednisone and special diet, my kidney function continued to decline, and in Oct 2016, I was thrown in a ambulance and taken to Red Deer hospital, where I spent 3 weeks, and where I was put on Dialysis, I am on Dialysis 3 days a week, at Stettler hospital, it has helped me get feeling much better, I am on a kidney transplant list, and have had several tests , including C scans and PET scans, to be sure I am healthy enough to go through for a kidney transplant , I was wondering if anyone on AO, knows or has relatives that had a kidney transplant. and how long they had to wait , Thanks for all your replies , Mike
