"Living Donation - The Process Explained"
March 13, 2012

Lori has a conversation with Ellen Shukhman, Clinical Program Coordinator for a kidney living donor program in California. Ellen explains the step by step process that donors go through to donate a kidney. Who makes the first call? Who can donate? How long does the evaluation take? Who pays for the transplant? How long is the hospital stay for donors? What are some possible complications? What if you're not a match? Listen to this informative interview to learn about the ins and outs of living donation.
