The medications available now are much better than 40 years ago. Sometimes the transplant is lost within the first 2 or three years, but the rate of function at 5 years is now at least 85%. And the life style is so much better than on dialysis.

There are many factors that come into play with a donor Kidney. Factors such as rejection, compliance, and the health of the recipient. Therefore it’s difficult to put a lifespan on a donated kidney.
