My brother had a Kidney Transplant in 1980,he is 38yrs old and is still doing well. My sister is on Hemo-Dialysis and is waiting for a Kidney Transplant. I had a cat with Kidney Disease and he lived to be 11 until I had to put him asleep. In June of 07 I had my third Kidney Transplant and my labs are great and I feel wonderful. I was on dialysis for a total of 7-8 years.

My brother, sister and I are the only ones in my entire family with kidney disease. My parents must of had a recessive gene.
