What are the advantages of living kidney donation? For patients who have end-stage kidney disease and are eligible for a kidney transplant, a kidney from a living donor is the best treatment.
A kidney from a living donor usually lasts longer than a kidney from a deceased donor. Every patient who receives a transplant from a living donor comes off the wait-list for a kidney from a deceased donor. This shortens the wait-time for other patients on the transplant waitlist. The donation and transplant operations can be planned for a time when both the potential donor and the transplant candidate are in the best possible health. Being in good health improves the recovery after surgery.
Many people who have donated a kidney say that helping someone in need is a positive personal experience. A kidney transplant is the very best treatment option for many people with kidney disease, but the waiting list is long.
Most people wait an average of three years for a transplant but, for some, the wait is much longer. If more people donated a healthy kidney, the waiting list for transplants would shrink.
Many more people with kidney disease could come off or avoid dialysis and regain their health and independence. You may be aware that kidneys for transplantation can come from living donors or deceased donors. Not only do kidneys from living donors work better and last longer on average , but the organs are thoroughly assessed for suitability and the surgery can be planned in at the best possible time for the donor, recipient and surgical team.
