About this site

Many kidney transplant centers and non-profit organizations have prepared their own lists of frequently asked questions about living kidney donation. (Many of these links are about living donor transplants generally and not specifically about kidney donation, but the vast majority of living donor transplants are kidney transplants.) Some of these links also include information specifically about stranger-to-stranger kidney donation, also called "non-directed" donation.

• Living kidney donor information & resources from the National Kidney Foundation



• The United Network for Organ Sharing resource page about live organ donation



• Articles written by living donors, collected on TransWeb.org, an educational site run by the University of Michigan Transplant Center.



• Information on becoming a living donor, from the Coalition on Donation, a national alliance of organ donation awareness organizations



• Information about living donation from the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network



• Background information from LiveKidney.com, the Web site of the Living Donor Kidney Transplantation Steering Committee

You may also wish to locate a transplant center in your area and request more information from them about living kidney donation, including their anonymous kidney donation program if they have one, because many transplant centers have different policies and procedures regarding anonymous kidney donation.
