Hi,
1. Yes, retransplant is possible even after loss of first kidney transplant.You will require HCV treatment and liver biopsy ,if the Liver is fine you get for HCV and undergo transplant.Your chances of successful transplant are very good and it is not a uncommon problem .
2.I would suggest thrice weekly dialysis in your case, as it is clinincally proven that patients undergoing thrice weekly dialysis do very well post transplant compared to twice weekly shedule patients
