I want to donate and save a life and I would like someone to show me the procedure for transplantation. Thank you kindly.

Since you are HealthUnlocked, I believe you have access to The National Kidney

Foundation, they would be the first ones to contact as they have all the answers

you need.

It’s wonderful that you are considering living donation. To start, you’ll need to contact transplant centers (hospitals that perform transplant operations) in your area and ask to speak with a “Kidney Transplant Coordinator,” who will provide you with more information and help you begin the evaluation process to become a donor.

If you are in the U.S. you can find a transplant center in your area through this link: optn.transplant.hrsa.gov/me.... Select “member” then “Find a member”, under member type select “transplant center” and then select your state.

You can find more detailed information about living donation on our website at: kidney.org/atoz/content/liv...
