Transplant Candidate Education about Living Organ Donation

Among the many disincentives to living organ donation, patient reluctance to talk about it may be among the easiest to eliminate. When transplant centers educate patients about living donation at the right time, in the right place and with the right people, patients feel more knowledgeable and talk about it. That in turn leads to more interactions with others about living donation, and more living donor inquiries, evaluations, and transplants.
