Frequently Asked Questions
Don’t I need both of my kidneys?
Healthy people can live a normal, active life with one kidney. After donation, the remaining kidney enlarges slightly and increases its filtering capacity, so it can do most of the work that two kidneys previously did. Living kidney donors are carefully screened beforehand, and most have normal life expectancy afterward.
What if I’m not Kim’s blood type?
You may still be able to help through paired kidney donation — Emory is part of the National Kidney Registry, which matches donor-recipient pairs nationwide so more people can give safely. Learn how it works.
Will my information be private?
Initial donor screening is handled confidentially through the transplant program.
