Can you get two kidneys at the same time?

Yes: Usually one good kidney is sufficient but sometimes 2 lower quality kidneys are transplanted simultaneously in order to get a good outcome.

Yes: This is uncommon but usually entails receiving both kidneys from a marginal brain dead donor. Transplanting both kidneys allows the recipient to receive adequate functioning kidney mass where one marginal kidney would be inadequate.

Yes: This is done in two circumstances from a deceased donor. Small child donors under age 4 in which the kidneys are transplanted together (en bloc). Older adult donors over age 60 who have had diabetes and or hypertension or scarred kidneys with lower than average kidney function. Both kidneys will provide the recipient with a sufficient amount of renal function.
