I thought about that and asked the doctor, but they said no because it is considered a diseased kidney, therefore, I cannot donate it. Bottom line, I may eventually have to have a nephropexy, but I am trying not to since I have Rh- blood and O- that blood type of kidney due to the Rh factor rarely comes along if my other kidney went bad, apparently my kidney type is the longest on the waiting list, about 15 years. So, because of that I am really trying to hang on to it. Thank you for your post and I am so sorry they missed your other kidney being bad. I have been a urology nurse (RN) for 15 years, that should not have been missed!!!!!! They are to always make sure the other kidney is ok before removing one. Sounds like malpractice to me and I am not a proponet of malpractice except in the right cases. If you want tell me more about your situation and I can give you my opinion.
