Are there any living donor support groups?

❤

I just donated my kidney to a stranger 3 weeks ago. I am doing well and would encourage others who are considering donating to just do it.

Thank you, I am currently being tested to donate a kidney to a relative. This video was very informative and answered many of my questions and concerns. Again thank you!!

Beautiful stories❤

We students would like to see more videos, Dr. Watkins.

He performed my transplant on 04 -14-2016. My donor wasn’t 100% match so he enrolled me nationwide ( pair exchange) program. I received a kidney from Louisiana and my donor gave his kidney to a Latina woman who already had transplant 35 years ago. It’s really a good program. We were 33 recipients and 33 donors. We all got our kidneys. He is a wonderful doctor❤️❤️

This is a truly a Life Saving video

Thank you so much for all this great information. My Dad has kidney failure and I'm considering donating one of my kidneys, assuming it's a match. I'm a bit nervous about the decision. And sometimes even have mixed feelings about it. But I would love to get another 10 years out of him God willing.

Wow,Dr Mezrich so humble and funny. He is a great writer too. The donor in the intro was a truly heroic person.

I am an altruistic kidney donor. I'm almost close to the point of surgery after having so many scans, tests, ultrasounds, xrays as well as a financial and psychological assessment. I'm in UK

How about taking care of living kidney donors when they have a bad outcome, instead of tossing them out to the curb?

thank you for trying to save my daughter's life.

I like this. Also are you sure about bone marrow donors being paid? No one paid me when I donated mine.

I was an undesignated kidney donor earlier this year. I was initially against the notion of paying donors because I believe only those who need the money would donate and thus exploit the poor. I've been and will continue to work with "wait listers" to tell their stories and cultivate more altruistic living donors. However, this proposal to modify NOTA and provide an equitable tax credit is a reasonable and potentially enormous way to improve and save many more lives. I endorse it. I also think we should take actions that will be needed as a result to increase the number of medical professionals and transplant centers as well as educate the public and inform and encourage donors. Such expenditures are also easily justified instead of continuing to grow the dialysis industry.

presentation shines a whole new light on rationale for re-examining how we achieve higher donations. Times and norms chnage,; its time for this too

This will lead to saving so many more lives! Excellent presentation Ned!

Just wanted to say thank you for all your information. A year ago I stepped up to donate a kidney to a friend of mine and the surgery. Now will be September 15th. 2023 Can't wait to help my friend. God laid it apond my heart to help her. God laid that on my heart and I told God. I would be the willing person to step in. But I give God all the glory.

What kind of donuts? Not cream filled, I hope. Which woulda made things more slippery.

Shoulda shortened pre-amble.

This is dumb.. why you donate when your not even dead... donate to stranger.. come on... there side effect of one kidney... you don't see rich people donate,

Thank you all for this and god bless you all for your dedication to saving lives.

Sorry I missed the live meeting, thanks for recording it! Greg Nicholson (kidney donor on 3/1/2022)

Great presentation. Thank you Harvey. Very helpful. Every person seeking a living donor should see this before starting their campaign.

Informative and very exciting information!

Great loving thing to do

1:37 If anyone is interested, it’s also possible for living people to donate part of their liver.

You people are all amazing!

I am kidney donor i am 30 . My question is if i get DM or HTN in my life the deterioration for ESKD will be faster as i have one kidney? Or the pre renal cause ( like those diseases ) will affect similarly one or two kidneys? My second question is : if the CKD in donor is not related to the donation by it self but related to other causes so why it is higher in donors ?

Hi dears. I want to be a living donor. I decided to donate with my kidney or liver donor

I am so grateful for the kidney I received on 4/26/21. Thank you Dr. Veale.

I liked this so much. I've been trying to find for a RUclips vid that really informs the ideas in this RUclips vid! 👏Your video for sure is like the content of this new Dr. Ethan! Dr Ethan's explanations are totally educational and he helped me on my school. He is an informative Dr! I suggest you check out his page out and give Dr Ethan a like! ➡️ #DrEthanVideos

Great to hear from Janet who sees it from so many perspectives, including as a donor. That's so rare among medical transplant teams.

My dad is in need of a kidney, he’s been battling this for over 6 years and his blood type is O+ . He can get a transplant from a O+ or O- donor and we live in Houston texas ... looking for a donor ❤️🙏🏽

My dad needs a kidney, he is O+ blood type and he’s been battling this for over 6 years, someone be our miracle 🙏🏽 we live here in Houston Texas.

And a general comment: Ned and everyone at NKDO, thank you so much for this great virtual conference. I watched all the sessions - very interesting! I was especially glad to see Kidney Donor Athletes featured.

I have a set of related questions for Garet Hil - would love an answer to any or all. Background: I'm a non-directed donor active in the NKR pool for almost two months, waiting for a match. I am type B, but mid-50s, physically small, and have 2 veins on my left kidney so those may be factors why it's taking a while. 1. From the NKR quarterly reports (thanks for posting those!) it looks like the pool size has been dropping for years. Is this just because more transplants are happening, or are there other factors? 2. Also the median length of chains has been shrinking - same reason? 3. The website says that Type A and AB NDDs will have a "long wait" attempting to start a chain - how long is typical? Is that also changing over time? 4. If an NDD doesn't get an offer during their availability window, does the NKR just let them go, or is there a procedure to fall back on a direct-to-waitlist donation? I really want to donate within the year of my initial tests, but don't want to give up the NKR protections! 5. In general, for those of us who want to do the most potential good with our spare but aren't Type O, what trends do you see or advice do you have to give? Thank you so much for everything you all do!

LOVE THIS!

Very Interesting!

I LOVED this book! I listened on Audible.

Please leave a question for Dr. Serur here and we will post his reply next Wednesday.
