One common myth about living kidney donation is that you can’t donate to a patient in another city. This simply isn’t true! In fact, kidney donation can take place between cities, even across state lines. The process is incredibly streamlined, and hospitals and transplant centers are set up to manage donations from donors who live in different locations.
Living kidney donation is not only safe but is also a life-saving gift. Many donors go on to live long and healthy lives after donating. In fact, studies have shown that most living kidney donors report feeling a sense of fulfillment and would donate again if given the chance. Every year, over 6,000 people save lives through living kidney donation, showing just how impactful and rewarding this act can be.
If you’re considering donating to someone in another city, don’t let this myth hold you back. The logistics of donation are simple, and the process is well-supported by healthcare professionals. Many people have done it successfully, and the transplant team will guide you every step of the way.
