I am new to the Transplant list and am curious if people who are not on dialysis ever actively chose to get an a/v fistula in the event that they might need dialysis before their new kidney wakes up??
Back when I first got my CKD diagnosis, I was hospitalized for a month and received several transfusions. Fast forward 14 years and here I am, on the transplant list, with a few final cardiac tests to finish up before I gain active status. My blood work really made me sad. I knew the transfusions had complicated my ability to match, but now it looks like I only have a chance to match 25% of deceased donors. Does this sound like a very low number?
