Living Donor FAQs

Considering becoming a living kidney donor? It's natural to have questions. Learning about the process is the first step, and exploring your options does not mean you're committing to donate.

Many healthy adults may qualify. A transplant team will review your medical history and overall health to determine whether donation is safe and appropriate for you.



You may still be able to help! Through paired kidney donation, you could donate to another compatible recipient while helping Dan receive a kidney through an exchange program.


Not necessarily. Participating transplant programs may allow eligible donors to complete their evaluation and donation closer to home.


Not everyone can donate a kidney, but everyone can help spread awareness.

Share Dan's story. You never know who you might reach.


You can participate in a "Paired Donation"

Kidney swap

Dan is approved for transplant with the National Kidney Registry!


Intermountain Health in Salt Lake City is part of the National Kidney Registry which makes it easy to donate a kidney from all around the country. Any Blood type can apply because its possible for there to be a "Paired Donation" where two people can work together to save two other people's lives by swapping kidneys.
