Hi Doctor I Am Writing This Just For An Enquiry.

Hi Doctor
I am writing this just for an enquiry.

One of my close friends , aged 35 is having a chronic kidney disease named - IGA Nephropathy. He has undergone a transplant in 2009, at the age of 29, which is failed now and is in urgent need of another cadaver transplant. He is currently undergoing dialysis twice a week and having many side effects as part of his dialysis. The patient is going through a critical situation and I just want to check if there are any options to do a second transplant as an emergency. Appreciate if you could advise on below.

1. Can a second transplant be done immediately if bringing a donor.
2. What will be the approximate costs for the transplant
3. What is the success rate of the transplant
