Hello and welcome to HCM. As an Urologist and kidney transplant surgeon,i can understand your anxiety.You've not written the cause of kidney failure.
What are the lesions in the ureter,causing block and needing a stent.
After a second kidney transplant failure,the risk of subsequent graft failure increases,as antibodies increase.
You have again an option of either a transplant or maintainence dialysis.
The dialysis may be hemo,or PD. Both are good ways,with minor changes.
You may send all reports to me,as a direct question,for my expert opinion.
