Most of the organs in the abdomen are squishy and easily pushed out the way, and you have more free space than you realise in the first place. One of my best friends is walking around with four kidneys right now.

But I bet this woman needed to use the bathroom a lot more often while she was pregnant.

“Hey, Chameleon Brothers, this guy’s hoggin’ the kidneys! …I can’t pee myself!”

I’ll see myself out.

There’s a chance they don’t all function properly. Have 4 but only 2 work sort of case

If the kidney isn’t diseased, or dying, they leave the kidney in there when they put a new kidney in!

I love this response because it still insinuates that the guy’s friend is hoarding kidneys, despite anyone obviously knowing what you really meant. I mean uh, clearly he’s hoarding kidneys if his own aren’t diseased!!!!

You can't leave us hanging with the kidney thing? Were they born with four kidneys or something?

If they don't have to remove the kidneys during a transplant, it's often better to leave the weakened kidneys in to '"help" the new organs. Especially if whatever they have will inevitably waste away the new kidneys having split duty means the new ones will last longer.

If you have kidney failure the surgeon typically doesn't remove the old kidneys. I imagine they would if there was risk of gangrene or sepsis, but these surgeons just put a third one in. Then that kidney turned out to be a dud...

Boom. Four kidneys.

I'm trying to explain the situation with a bit of levity. Truth is he almost died twice through no fault of his own, barely twenty years old. And finding two separate compatible donors was nothing short of miraculous.

Okay now I'm even more amazed. They can just leave decommissioned organs... just in there? And it doesn't cause problems?!

u/Dawncracker_555 1d ago

The organs aren't decommissioned, they're connected and working, just not well enough for the organism to survive.

u/Tankieforever 1d ago

Can I have one? Mine are trash.

u/Theobromacuckoo335 1d ago

Damn... she'd make bank selling the other 2.

You can’t just casually mention 4 kidneys and then not explain… 😂

Does your friend sell iPhones by any chance?

Yep. My coworker told me she knew I was pregnant long before I started showing because I had to pee every 30 minutes. I also had terrible heartburn because my uterus was pressing into my stomach so much. I barely had a bump until I was 7 months pregnant.
