My husband has IGA. Hoping for kidney transplant. Wondering how long do you have to get to hospital to receive the kidney?

@shirley2216 I’m unfamiliar with IGA but I’m also anticipating a kidney transplant at some point. If your husband has a living kidney donor the transplant surgery can be planned/scheduled for optimal results for everybody involved. If it is a deceased donor, other factors need to be considered such as when and where the donated kidney becomes available etc. Either way your husband should have a coordinator that will help prepare you for your situation and pave the way.
