Lamar Odom may need a 'kidney transplant' as major organ continues to fail following near-fatal overdose

Lamar Odom: Making a gradual recovery

There are renewed fears for Lamar Odom following his collapse last week.

The 35-year-old is lucky to be alive after falling unconscious at a Nevada brothel.

Odom had been at the sex for cash establishment on a drugs and booze bender since Saturday and was rushed to hospital in Las Vegas on Tuesday following the discovery of his unresponsive body.

While he's said to be making a miraculous recovery after coming out of a three day coma, sources have told TMZ: "His kidneys are shot."

Lamar is believed to have had significant failure of four major organs and the insiders claims that while the others have "bounced back," his kidneys remain in danger.

But, the insiders claim, a transplant may be the only long term solution.

Odom was transferred to Cedars-Sinai Medical Centre in Los Angeles on Monday where he will go through six hours of daily dialysis as his body recovers.

According to TMZ the reason for his swift move was so the star could receive specialist care as well as tests to determine the extent of the damage done.

Pictures show the 6'10'' star being transported via medical helicopter around 5:30pm on Monday.

Khloe Kardashian, who flew straight to Las Vegas after learning of the news last week, reportedly travelled with him while Kris was also seen leaving the Las Vegas hospital.

A source told E! News: "Lamar is slowly making progress. Today has been a good day.

"There's a lot of praying going on."

The 35-year-old is also believed to have been communicating using hand signals and had also passed a swallow test.
