Sullivan County Woman Seeks Living kidney Donor After Transplant Rejection
USA: A 30-year-old woman from Sullivan County who received a lifesaving kidney transplant is now hoping to find a living donor after her transplanted kidney began rejecting and she lost renal function again. She is seeking a match that could lead to a second transplant and restore her health.
Diagnosed at 22 with a rare kidney disease, she received a living-donor transplant from a close friend that gave her seven years of what she describes as normal life. Over the past year her labs declined and clinicians determined the transplanted kidney was failing, prompting renewed evaluation for another transplantation.
She has spent the last several months on in-center dialysis, undergoing treatments three days a week for roughly 3.5 hours on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday while continuing to work and care for her family. The regimen has taken a significant physical and emotional toll and reinforced how transformative a successful kidney transplant can be.
People interested in becoming living kidney donors are encouraged to begin the evaluation process through UT Medical Center or Vanderbilt University Medical Center, where living-donor programs can assess compatibility and next steps. She is publicly sharing her story to raise awareness and find a match that could once again change her life.
