Has anyone here had a double Kidney transplant?

I was looking for someone else who has had a double kidney transplant.

A member of my family has just received 2 kidneys, and I was wondering about the difference in recovery times or any additional complications encountered.

Double kidney transplants are rare in the UK. The norm is just one as you can live well with just one.
