Dr. Lady Maria 1/Perhaps one of the most important benefits is to be able to plan for preemptive transplantation, which is associated with superior outcomes compared to transplantation after any time on dialysis. The benefits of preemptive Tx have been under-acknowledged. #ESOTchat

Paternalism as a barrier to #livingdonation deserves a discussion forum in @ESOTcongress #Milan2021. I like @Twitter but these proposals cannot be limited to 280 characters #letstalkaboutkidneydonation #StrongerTogether #ESOTchat

3 years ago today Katrina shared her spare #kidney with gorgeous Ethan. Katrina didn’t know Ethan but responded to a social media plea by Ethan’s parent’s Nicola and James. Katrina shares her story with us and tonight we will be sharing Ethan’s story ❤ facebook.com/30838101964460…

This is adorable Jarlie, the seven year old from #Robe #camelmilk farm #SouthAustralia

Well done Laura!

#livingdonation... Can you do this?

Very informative talk of you're waiting for a#kidney #transplant ...

We've had some queries about whether having - or not having - the Covid vaccination affects a person's ability to donate or receive a transplant. You can donate or receive a transplant whether you’ve had the Covid-19 vaccination or not, as long as you're eligible.

A piece to reflect on: #living #kidney #donation: it’s too hard to do good by Martha Gershun tinyurl.com/yys3y2me AJKD Can we further remove barriers? Give a Kidney Dr. Macey Levan @BurnappLisa Sue G Lucrezia furian ESOTtransplant Hannah Maple @NizamMamode

"Donating a kidney... made me overjoyed that I was able to save a life...But it was... so difficult that I cannot imagine how anyone without my life advantages—could possibly navigate the logistic, psychosocial, and financial barriers I encountered."

Minimally invasive #livingdonor #liverdonation robotic hepatectomy...

Olympic #Gold medallist becomes a #livingdonor and "realized it was important to demystify live-donor #kidneytransplants and spread awareness about the viability of the procedure".

Altruistic #Living #liverdonation Here's Heather's story... This can be done in the UK too.

Hannah Maple presented the BOUnD during the Medawar session #BTS2022. Data clearly show many misconceptions around #unspecified living kidney donation should be removed. This type of donation is invaluable to the success of living donor KTx & esp paired kidney exchange

Len is a rare double donor, having donated a kidney and a part of his liver. Both to strangers. 💚 #LivingOrganDonationWeek

Why donate to strangers? "After Seren got her new kidney, she was told that I could get off the #livingdonor list...I had a strange experience...I heard a voice telling me 'there is someone else who needs your kidney' and I just felt that I had to stay on the [donor] list."
