In life, there are knowns, unknowns, and unknown unknowns. In other words, some things are so outside our realm of experience that we can't even form the right questions to ask. Living Donor 101 strives to be that reference point, a place for prospective and current living donors to find information and research, and the latest on living donor issues, advocacy and support*.

 

 

  • The Risks, Complications and Consequences of being a Living Donor. Available research data has been compiled so an informed decision can be made regarding living donation. Current Living Donors will find the information valuable in assessing their own health and well-being.

 

  • After talks about what to expect post-surgery, physically and emotionally.
  • Many living donors experience depression, grief, anger, anxiety and PTSD-like symptoms post-donation, but transplant centers offer no support services or aftercare.

 

 

Take Action, the newest feature on LD101, discusses issues important to living donors and illustrates how anyone can inform the public, media and lawmakers about living donation and living donors; how to affect change in public policy and law to better protect and care for living donors.
