PKD kidneys removed at time of transplant

Hi Bob,
I have 4 kidneys. My native kidneys shut down as a result of my liver. I received a liver and kidney transplant on February 10,2021. The new kidney let me down so I was blessed and received a second kidney transplant on November 12,2021 that works great. They told me that when the other 3 die they will just shrivel and die. Leaving them there unless they create a problem down the road.
That is my story, but as we all know, each of us has a unique story to play out. Good luck and prayers to you 🙏

Thank you for your response. I'm glad your were lucky enough to get a second transplant. My native kidneys are causing pain and discomfort. The surgeon wanted to wait a year or more to remove them to make sure the new kidney was working. Had some ups and downs the first year, UTI's and proteinuria, but now everything seems under control.
I'll post afterwards
