HELP REDUCE THE WAITING LIST BY DONATING A KIDNEY

You reduce the need for the recipient to go on or stay on dialysis.
Transplants from living donors are often more successful because of having a better match and it cuts down the amount of time the kidney is cut off from blood supply.  Remember, your surgery is happening the same time as the donor’s surgery in the room right next door.  Once the kidney is taken out, it goes right into the recipient.
