Kidney Failure : I am asking if everyone could put this as their status for 2 hours. I am pretty sure and certain I know the ones who will.
Think of someone you know or love who had or has kidney failure and having Dialysis treatments or looking at Dialysis in the future. Prayers for all. This 💚💚💚🙏🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻💚💚

Paired donation
Sometimes a transplant candidate has someone who wants to donate a kidney to them, but tests reveal that the kidney would not be a good medical match. Kidney paired donation, or KPD, also called kidney exchange, gives that transplant candidate another option. In KPD, living donor kidneys are swapped so each recipient receives a compatible transplant.

How kidney paired donation works
For example, in the diagram above, Barbara wants to donate to her sister Donna, but they do not have matching blood types. Carlos wants to donate to his wife Maria, but they are also not compatible. By “swapping” donors so that Carlos matches Donna and Barbara matches Maria, two transplants are made possible. This type of exchange often involves multiple living kidney donor/transplant candidate pairs.

Be a Living Donor
The list of organ transplant patients grows each year, significantly outpacing the availability of traditionally transplantable organs, and a Living Donor – a healthy person who donates an organ to another in need – is the only hope for a second chance. As a Living Donor, you will immediately increase the existing organ supply and enable more patients to receive transplants.
