A Note Regarding Organ Donation from
Dr. Larry Beaty
|
|
100,000 people are waiting for a kidney transplant in the US, about 600 in Iowa. I am one of them! About 18,000 get transplanted annually, only 6,000 from living donors. At my age, I need a living donor kidney as the wait list for a cadaver donor is 5-7 years. The need is great. Living donors must be over 18 years of age and be basically healthy – free from diabetes, cancer, hypertension (uncontrolled) or other chronic diseases. More information is available at: www.kidney.org/livingdonation
Be an organ donor, you can designate that when you renew your driver’s license, hunting license or fishing license. It all helps reduce that waiting list!
