The Black and White of Organ Transplants: Equity in the Gift of Life
The push for health equity in the U.S. must encompass and confront the disparities within our system of organ transplantation.
There is a constant shortage of donor organs in metropolitan areas such as New York City. Give the gift of life by becoming an organ donor.
In kidney transplants, the donors' remaining kidney strengthens to compensate for the kidney that he or she donated. Kidneys from a living donor have a better long-term survival than kidneys from a deceased donor.
Also, deceased kidney donation cannot meet the needs of all patients in this country who need a kidney transplant. The waiting time for a deceased kidney donation may be two to five years.
Kidney donations from living donors have always been a better option. More recently, kidneys donated from unrelated living donors (such as a spouse or a friend) have been as successful as those from close relatives.
The Dennis Bligen Kidney Foundation is a non-profit organization founded in

who was diagnosed with chronic kidney disease in 2002.
