Living Kidney Donation

If you are waiting for a kidney, having a live donor can decrease your waiting time for a kidney transplant. Your parents, children, siblings, other relatives, in-laws, and close friends can all be considered for living kidney donation. Some people do not have a designated recipient and end up donating a kidney to someone they do not know. A University of Michigan-developed software program works to match an incompatible recipient/donor pair with other pairs in the same situation, offering new hope to those needing kidney transplants.
