hi. few years ago I had a fem to fem bypass, then I guess it wasn't working and I had an aourta to fem bypass. its fine, but, I lost my left kidney and I have 25% of my right kidney working, can I have a new kidney even though I had those surgeries? dr says no cause on right side is where kidney would go....... but.... the last bypass was aurta to fem left leg...... I say yes cause the original bypass, apparently isn't any good or they wouldn't have done the 3rd. I also am a diabetic, I have neuropathy.. I have fibromyalgia, i have PAD, I HAD 2 mini strokes and have a stent in heart valve... c-pap at night and 2 nebulizer treatments a day. I guess that' sums it up............. ok go im ready to hear no again........... I just want to cover all bases... thank you for taking the time to read this, forgot I am 70 yrs now female.

Hi, you are 70 years old, so keeping a new kidny may not be suitable for you, and the cause of the kidney not working might be the less blood supply to it. More over one healthy kidney will be suffecient for maintenance of the body.Stop thinking of the right kidney, and have regular checkups for the left kidney. Keep the diabetis under control. Thank you.
