How Many of Your Patients
Understand:
Dialysis shortens life expectancy compared to transplant.
The less time on dialysis before transplant, the better the kidney will function and
the longer it will last.

Why does a kidney from a living donor sometimes last twice as long as a kidney from
a deceased donor? Kidney not impacted by brain death.
The time the kidney is without blood flow is dramatically reduced.
Living kidney donors are healthier than the average person.
Only very healthy people are accepted at Penn to be living kidney donors.
First living donor transplant at Penn more than 40 years ago. Donor and recipient still doing well.
