Doctors are the usual causes of transplants.

Are you asking what the causes are of kidney disease? If so it varies. My kidney disease was brought on by Henoch Scholein Purpra- an autoimmune disease. There are other causes, sometimes the cause is unknown.
If you are asking what causes someone to need a transplant then that occurs when their kidney function is at less than 25%. Blood work can be done to test for the kreatin level which gets higher as the kidneys get worse, mine is at 456 and I am not on dialysis yet- however my doctor is trying to get a transplant in place before I need dialysis.
Hope that helps.

The main cause of kidney disease is Diabetes. My kidney disease was caused by reflux nephropathy basically a birth defect.
