Want to learn more? Here are some sites I have found to be helpful.
National Kidney Foundation
Non Profit that supports research and provides resources for those with kidney related illnesses
Mayo Clinic Page on Kidney Transplants
Great summary of the medical procedure
Wikipedia Page on Renal Failure
This goes into more detail on what kidney disease is, causes and symptoms
Duke Kidney Transplant Site
Duke is the closest facility for transplants to me, but there are others that are not that much farther for me.
