New here! Advocacy help please!

Good evening! I am writing on behalf of my friend who donated a kidney in the beginning of January. Unfortunately, she has had complications with lymphatic fluid leaking out of a tear (Chylous Ascites). Has anyone had this happen to them? If not, who can I contact to get more info/advocacy help? Thank you!

I'm sorry to hear your friend is experiencing this. This is a relatively rare complication. I would suggest also posting this question on our living donor community - healthunlocked.com/nkf-dono...
