I also use the term non direct donor. However, my nurse coordinator from Mayo has informed me that Mayo refers to us as altruistic donors. I had never used that term when working with CORE Kidney UCLA. I can put you in touch with my nurse coordinator if you have questions as to why they corrected me when I referred to myself as non-directed/anonymous donor. I talk to them on Tuesday and will share your concerns.

I didn’t know there was such a distinction! My own liver and kidney came from an anonymous deceased donor. So that is really the limit of my experience.
You are in good hands at Mayo! I received my transplant at Mayo in Rochester MN. Celebrating 16 years in April!
