Who Can Be a Living Donor?

Living donors are typically healthy adults over 18 who are in good physical and mental health and have normal kidney function. Donors can be family members, friends, or even altruistic strangers.

After Donation

Most living donors recover within 2-4 weeks. Long-term studies show that living donors have an excellent prognosis and can live healthy, full lives with one kidney. Costs are typically covered by the recipient's insurance.
