I recently celebrated the 10th anniversary for my kidney transplant, and as someone who has to take a cocktail of immunosuppression medications daily for the last 10 years, I'm really looking forward for advances in the field. The problem is that the kidney is, unlike the liver for example, is a complex organ so I'm not sure how they'll grow one that my body doesn't rejects, perhaps by growing them in other animals?

Despite the medications and their side effects, it beats living on hemodialysis. Furthermore, before the transplant, I was under the impression that my immune system will be so compromised that I'll get sick for any reason, but I have been very healthy, even more than the average folks. The only catch that if you do get sick, then you're in trouble. A regular cold lasts 3-4 weeks with me if I'm lucky.
