Living donation is arranged through individual transplant centers according to protocols they have set. However, a general overview of Living Donation is available on our Web site.Another resource for living donors or those considering living donation is NKF’s National Donor Council. Approximately 500 members of the National Donor Family Council and TransAction Council are living donors. Currently, they are working to develop special programs, resources, and features designed to meet the specific needs of living donors and their families.
