[quote=Anonymous]10:23 here. Maintaining a transplanted kidney involves being diligent about taking anti-rejection medications. You should ask yourself whether your uncle would be likely to take medications as prescribed. If he is unlikely to care for the kidney, then you may consider the risk to yourself less worth it. Some people who receive kidney transplants have trouble paying for the medications and eventually lose the kidney. The medications can be very expensive. This would be a question for a kidney transplantation social worker. When I last researched the rules, kidney transplant recipients had Medicare coverage for anti-rejection medications for 3 years. After that, they needed to have some other means to pay for the medications (often this involved getting a job with insurance coverage). [/quote]
