Kidney Organ donation

The kidneys function as our body’s filters, cleaning the blood of waste and impurities. They also release hormones that regulate blood pressure, control production of red blood cells, and promote growth of healthy bones.

Those people who need kidney transplants have suffered from some form of kidney failure, which can be a result of diabetes, high blood pressure or a number of diseases that can be inherited. If left untreated, kidney failure can be fatal.


While most people are born with two kidneys, all humans can survive with one. This is how individuals are able to be living kidney donors and help save the lives of a loved one or even a complete stranger, as in the case of altruistic donation.
