@ellakoch Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect! It's always so great to hear from a transplant patient, and wow! 36 years with the same gift is awesome! Thank you for sharing your story.

Yes, cadaver matches are often done, as are family members or an other living donor. Dialysis and transplants are treatment options for kidney disease.

Ginger, my family and I felt defeated when I was not same blood type as siblings or my mother , my father had died when I was a child. However the kindness of another family who chose to donate their sons organs saved my life and several others also needing the "gift of life" I am certainly thankful.
dialysis was a life saver as well while I waited on the list.
