Living Donor Program

For thousands of people waiting for a transplant in the United States, a living donor could be a lifesaver. A living donor is a live person who chooses to donate an organ or part of an organ to transplant into another person. Recipients experience many benefits when they receive a kidney from a living donor, such as a shorter waiting period, fewer complications, and excellent outcomes.

MUSC Health experts perform living-donor transplant surgery for kidney transplants. A dedicated living donor team manages all living donors. They are here to help guide you through the process.
