Living Donor Transplantation |

- Saint Luke’s is the leader within our area for Living Donor Transplants
- A separate Nurse Coordinator is assigned specifically to work with the Living Donors
- The option and benefits of living donor transplant is discussed in our education classes and during the evaluation period
- The kidney is transplanted within minutes of the removal from the donor minimizing preservation time
- With the Laparoscopic Kidney removal procedure available at Saint Luke’s, the donor may return to normal activities within 1-2 weeks
