Honest question. It sounds like the recipient was older so if something were to happen to them (passing from old age, etc) would it be possible to move the kidney back? After all it would be a perfect match... still the same age as the donor, and as long as it hasn't been compromised in any way should still function well.
- smcnally 10y agoThe organ has had x years in a foreign environment. The new host / donee has taken an ongoing regimen of anti-rejection drugs for the duration to prevent that foreign environment from being overly hostile. The organ is not particularly suitable for re-transplantation even back to the original host.
