KIDNEY DONATION BASICS: A matching kidney would be ideal. However, a direct match is not necessary. A kidney may be donated on my behalf through the National Kidney Registry (NKR) to help another person in need but who also has an incompatible donor. I would receive a compatible kidney from a donor donating on behalf of an incompatible recipient and that recipient would then receive a kidney from a different unmatched donor-recipient pair.
The NKR would issue a voucher to me which is like an IOU for a kidney. The NKR employs data from across the U.S. to match donors with compatible recipients. That increases the number of transplants performed each year and makes for the best patient outcomes.
A donor donating a kidney on my behalf would have their costs of hospital and medical care covered. Donor Shield Protections (including lost wages, room, lodging, and more) available only through the NKR may also be available.
HOW TO HELP ME: You can help me by sharing my story and the link for this webpage via social media and email. Just by sharing my story you will help to save my life. Sharing would be like throwing a life preserver into the water to save me from drowning without jumping into the water with me. If an interested person wants to speak with a person confidentially for more information without any obligation to proceed further, they could click on the button “Register to donate” A knowledgeable person will be in touch with them.
WHERE TO DONATE:
Donors can be anywhere. Almost one hundred outstanding transplant centers participate in the NKR network. Donors usually can donate at any NKR-affiliated transplant center near them or where I am registered and approved for transplant.
Thank you for taking the time to read my story. I know that not everyone can be a living kidney donor, but everyone can share my story that might just save my life. The more people who are aware that I need a kidney the better my chances are of finding a living donor.
