There are currently over 6200 people in the UK who are waiting for a kidney
transplant. In 2005-6, 1914 transplants were performed. Unfortunately, the
number of people who are waiting is increasing more quickly than transplants are
performed. The main reason for this is the shortage of donors.
|
Most people are aware that a donor can be someone who has died, and whose
family is prepared to allow their organs to be donated. What is not so well
known is that anyone can put themselves forward as a living donor.

A surprising fact is that people who have donated a kidney have a HIGHER LIFE
EXPECTANCY than average. This is for two good reasons: stringent tests before
being accepted as a donor, and excellent follow-up medical care, with an annual
check up, so that anything which crops up will get detected early.

Every transplant saves the NHS money - because keeping people on dialysis is
very expensive. If all 6200 people who need one received a transplant, it would
save the NHS about £150 million per year.

Every kidney donor and recipient has a story to tell. For example, Londoner
Kevin Onraet donated a kidney to his brother Richard, and had a 'replacement'
kidney tattooed to his torso.
