Your Guide to Kidney Transplant

The American Kidney Fund believes that everyone in need of a kidney transplant should have equal access to this treatment option regardless of race, how much education you have or where you live. Unfortunately, for many people, the process of getting a new kidney is often confusing, overwhelming and complicated. If you have felt this way in your journey toward a kidney transplant, AKF wants you to know you are not alone. Many people find it hard to figure out where to go for answers or sometimes are not even sure what to ask. If you or someone close to you needs a kidney transplant, you may not be sure what questions to ask. You may have even gotten so many different answers to your questions, you do not know which answer is correct or who to believe. Your Guide to Kidney Transplant aims to give you the basics of a kidney transplant, while providing hope and resources to guide you through the transplant process.
