Infections From Stents In Kidney, Infection In Kidney After Removal Of Stents. Not Recommended Transplant. Guide
I have a 20 year old girl who has had kidney problems since she was 11. Doctors say it was in development, but she has been in and out of hospitals for years. She has had stents put in and they cause infection, they take them out and her kidneys back up and cause a different infection. They say they can't do a kidney transplant until it quits working and causes the other one to start having problems that would cause her to have dialysis. Please help
