For friends, neighbors, family members and others in need of new kidneys or livers, a priceless gift from a living donor means faster access to lifesaving care. Compared to conventional transplants, living organ donation has meaningful benefits like:
- • Faster access to care instead of waiting years to receive an organ
- • Shorter hospital stays and more time healing at home
- • Easier recovery with fewer complications
- • Longer survival rates to keep leading the life you love
And for living donors, the benefits far outweigh any potential downsides, too. In fact, 95 in 100 donors tell us they wouldn’t change anything about their decision to donate. It’s a rare privilege to be a match for someone in need, and giving someone a second chance at life is a unique joy that lasts a lifetime.
