    It’s more that there’s a higher risk of complications if they remove the old kidneys. However, they do start taking them out if you’ve had more than two transplants.

        As many as necessary, really. The only reason they start getting removed is because of the risk of infection and stuff.

        It’s complicated, subjective, and probably varies country-to-country.
