A person who donates a kidney during their lifetime — usually a family member or friend — with outcomes generally better than deceased-donor transplants.
Living donors give one kidney (or a portion of liver/lung in other transplants) to a recipient. For kidney transplant, living donation offers the best graft survival, allows planned (often preemptive) surgery, and shortens or eliminates waiting. Donors undergo rigorous medical and psychosocial evaluation; operative mortality in screened donors is under ~0.1%. Recipient insurance covers donor costs, and NLDAC assists with travel. Paired exchange extends donation to incompatible pairs.
A surgical procedure in which a healthy kidney from a living or deceased donor is transplanted into a patient with end-stage renal disease to restore kidney function.
Kidney transplantation performed before dialysis is ever needed — associated with the best graft and patient outcomes.
A program where incompatible donor-recipient pairs swap kidneys so each recipient receives a compatible kidney from another pair's donor.
