Lamar Odom kidney transplant: Star’s organs not functioning; surgery surgery may be the next action

Though embattled former NBA star Lamar Odom’s health has stabilized and he’s no longer near death, Lamar Odom kidney transplant rumors have begun to swirl in light of recent reports highlighting damage to Odom’s organs. According to those reports, Odom’s kidneys and lungs are in bad shape, and doctors are exploring the likelihood of a quick transplant.
People cites “a source close to the Kardashian family” in its report of the possibility of a Lamar Odom kidney transplant; according to that source, “It’s two steps forward, then a step back.” Though Odom’s condition continues to fluctuate, “it does feel like some progress is being made,” says that source, who, it’s believed, has been sitting with the family at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles.
“There’s still a black cloud, like, ‘Okay, what’s next,'” the insider continued. “The pneumonia was a huge setback, and now there’s worry about permanent scarring of the lungs. His kidneys are still not functioning correctly, but he’s nowhere near strong enough to even think of a transplant, so he’s on dialysis.”
