So I’ve been stressing out about this and not sure if there is a solution. I’m 51 now so even if I get a kidney transplant soon, they only last 10-15 years. Let’s say that it lasts 15 years, that would mean I need another kidney at 66 years old. Do I go back on dialysis and wait another 6-10 years? Even if an artificial kidney is available by then, will I be healthy enough for a large surgical procedure? I read that 90% of dialysis patients are not eligible for transplant. Likely I will be in that group next time.
