Live Kidney Donor

Posted by beneita @beneita, Mar 29 12:58pm

Glad to be here in group! My 33 year old son is now established w/Mayo in Jax Fl for receiving a live donor Kidney Transplant! I am thankful for encouragement and would love to also encourage others

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Kidney & Bladder Support Group.

This is fantastic! Could you &/or your son share tips on what you did to find a living kidney donor? I’ve been looking since 2016 to no avail.

Let me rephrase that! We just established our journey w/Mayo and live donor support. He has not received a kidney. We are in the process of sharing the information provided to our community. We do have people we know lined up to see if they are a match! It just took three months to finally get established into the Mayo Program 😇
