Kidney Transplants: Doing Pretty Ok!

Good kidney news today: A new report in Eureka Alert shows that chronic rejection (the slow process of scarring that sometimes occurs in kidney transplants over the course of many years and can lead to the loss of the graft) is less prevalent now than ever.

This is great news for people who are otherwise healthy like me! The main threat to losing the kidney after the first year or so is through chronic rejection, so here's hoping that's not affecting me and I can keep this puppy for at least 40+ years. Right? I sure hope so!
