Description
An overview of living-donor kidney transplant for donors and adult and pediatric patients. The Q&A featured Mayo Clinic Kidney/Pancreas Transplant Program Surgical Director Mikel Prieto, M.D., Pediatric Kidney Transplant Program Medical Director Carl Cramer, M.D., and kidney donor and pediatrician Phil Fischer, M.D.. Dr. Prieto and Dr. Cramer explain the advantages of living donor transplantation, preemptive kidney transplantation, paired donation and donor chains, the kidney transplant operation for donors and patients, how potential donors can be screened, and what patients can do to be in the best possible condition for surgery. Dr. Fischer discusses his experience as a donor. After the presentation, the doctors answered questions.

I received a kidney and it was damaged by BK 7 years later. What can I do to avoid being "attacked" by BK again. I am scheduled for another transplant in May and very concerned?
Is their treatments for patients with high antibodies? We live in tx... How would we pay for sevices at Mayo?
What policies are available to support donors?
What if a potential donor has a job that involves lifting -- construction worker, child-care provider, etc. Can they go back to work after just one month?
Is there a way to view this webinar after it is done. My friend needs a transplant but couldn't get this webinar to work. Her kidney function is at 19 % and has appointments scheduled to start this process very soon. She hopes to be able to view this later. Can she? Thank you for this webinar.
Yes! This webinar is being recorded and will be available for viewing on this page after the webinar concludes.
Thank you
Thank you. Any idea how long it can be view? Days, weeks, or only right after?
Very interesting, and informative. We live in Canada and are registered in the Paired Exchange Program here. We also went the route of Social Media (Facebook) to let others know our situation. We had about 30 people come forward offering to be tested.

I am a kidney donor and advocate for living kidney donation in South Florida. I donated 2 ½ years ago when I was 72. I attended your webinar to listen to what the Mayo Clinic does to help educate potential donors. I found the webinar informative and realistic, but more importantly, a real indication that the Mayo Clinic understands how important it is to reach out to inform the general public about an idea that is almost an unknown subject. I realize that the Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Florida is part of your organization. Can you provide me with a contact for me to discuss the idea of having a living kidney donor (me!!) to speak at various events the hospital might schedule to promote living kidney donation in Florida? <br />
<br />

Thanks in advance.<br />
