A kidney transplant does not last for ever. The average life-span of a transplanted kidney is twelve years for a deceased donor kidney, and about 15 years for a living related transplant. The average for a living unrelated transplant is somewhere between the two.
At about the third year following transplant, damage to the graft (transplanted kidney) can be seen, caused by the immunosuppressant drugs. Over 85 percent of transplant patients take tacrolimus (prograf), a calcineurin inhibitor, a drug extremely effective in preventing rejection but harsh on the graft.osted on April 3, 2012 by Vicki.

Assuming no accident occurs to shorten life, I will live longer than the median three years of a dialysis patient but not as long as someone like me but without kidney disease.
