You have youth going for you. Younger means better odds of your body handling a transplant thus you should be higher on the list.

I don't know what else to say but good luck.

"What do I do ?" Prayer and get the best help you can.

I'll say a prayer for you even if you dont want it.

Unlike some conditions that require transplant, it's not like you're SOL if you don't get one quickly. Dialysis sucks as a lifestyle, but it is done by many, and it will keep you alive until you're at the top of the list.

Best bet is to try and stay as fit as possible (being healthy is a plus for transplant placement—as does your age) and try to keep as good an outlook as possible.

Too bad about your family being jerky since they are a valuable source of spare parts

Best wishes.

Are you holding a grudge or agitated for a prolong period of time?
What symptoms are you having?

What could have caused your kidneys to go bad?

I'm not at the best of my health either.

Prayer could bring at the very least comfort and solace. I've witnessed miracles that resulted from prayer but not every prayer unfortunately is answered with one or immediately answered. But I strongly believe a prayer is never wasted. I'd suggest you do that.

Meanwhile go easy on yourself, rest a lot, don't get upset mind your mind and your emotion.

They do liver transplants all the time. That asshat actor Larry Hagman had 2. The first one failed because he went back to heavy drinking.

It's the Pancreas that can't be transplanted.

It's not that they do them, it's that you only have one liver, and you need a match. So if it fails, you either have a candidate liver pretty much NOW, or you are toast.

With kidneys you have 2, and might retain some function on one longer than the other, AND they can dialyze you and keep you alive with NO kidneys indefinitely. Having no kidneys is not a death sentence, it's a sentence to dialysis until they match you. A far better prognosis than end-stage liver disease.
