We were told my kidney should last 24 years. 

People take a deceased donor kidney because they have no choice.  No one steps up to give them a live donation and they don't want to be on dialysis.   Living donations are still not the most common means of getting a kidney-there are risk to the donor and expenses they may not be able to afford.

Is your kidney living or cadaveric? About how old was the donor?
