I guess a kidney that’s rejected by someone could be transplanted again if it’s not too messed up, but that’s just me guessing, I’m not sure.
There are two types of kidney rejection that can happen after transplant:
- Acute rejection usually happens soon in the months after a transplant. Out of 100 people who get a transplant, 5-20 people will have an acute rejection episode and less than five people will have an acute rejection episode that leads to complete failure of their new kidney.
- Chronic rejection happens slowly over the years after a transplant. It means your new kidney may stop working over time because your body's immune system is constantly fighting it. Chronic rejection happens to kidney recipients more often than acute rejection.

Yes that sounds about right

Yea the health of the individual selling it and also the recipient’s body could reject the kidney. If it’s rejected I don’t know if at that point the kidney turns bad.
