2nd Kidney Transplant
Just wanted to come on here and share my experience as a 34yo male with kidney disease. I had my second kidney transplant on Oct. 1st 2025. I had my previous transplant from my identical twin which lasted 9 years but unfortunately IGA Nephropathy had other plans for it. I did peritoneal dialysis and hemo for almost 2 years. My step mom donated for me through the NKR as she wasn’t a direct match and thankfully I was blessed with a great donor from the program. I’ve had both transplants at Indiana University Hospital in Indianapolis, IN. I’m lucky to be only a 15 minute drive from an amazing transplant team. I just want to say it’s not been easy but I would do it over again 100x even if it all ended tomorrow. I’ve been back to work since the start of 2026 and haven’t looked back. If I can answer any questions or help anyone I’d be happy to.
