Waiting for an available kidney can often take many years for people with end-stage kidney disease.
Living kidney donation is one option to many who are eligible for a kidney transplant. One of the most important benefits of having a kidney from a living donor is that the living donation can often happen much sooner than a transplant from a deceased donor.
The following stories provide a look inside the lives of some living donors and kidney transplant recipients. They talk about how family and friends came together to help each other.
