There is no time frame set that transplanted kidneys work...we have to take care of immunusuppresion and hygeine . I have seen a patient transplanted in 1996...with serum creatinine of 0.8mg/dl now..she is 70 years old now. So keep cool take medications regularly and stay away from thinking about it..ok
