National Kidney Month is the perfect time to highlight the need for organ donors and advances that make it possible for more people - including older adults - to give and to receive the gift of life through kidney transplantation.
Patients who received double kidney transplants had similar short-term outcomes to patients who received single transplants. We found that we could achieve excellent patient survival and kidney function using marginal kidneys if they are both transplanted into a single recipient.
We are matching based on age, weight, and kidney function. An older donor kidney has less capacity and someone waiting for a kidney who is older and weighs less doesn't need as much capacity.
