If there are any kind of abnormalities found on your kidneys through an X-ray or ultrasound, make sure to consult a urologist.
We treat but God heals
Every day, we have the privilege to care for people who are in need of a kidney transplant or who have graciously offered to be a living donor. We recognize and honor the precious gifts of organ donation. Please read the stories of those who have made an impact at the Transplant Center ,
There are times when a family member donates a kidney out of his own will. That person is called a ‘living donor’. The living donor must be at the best of his health and well-informed about transplantation. After undergoing tests, any healthy person can therefore donate a kidney without any harm. Donors of every gender are welcome, and men and women can have the same blood groups. However, men’s blood can contain fewer antibodies against red and white blood cells because women often make these antibodies during pregnancy. This means male blood can be more suitable for creating blood products used to treat patients 3. Men also generally have higher iron levels than women, so they are less likely to be deferred from donating due to low hemoglobin.
