Ruby's Living Kidney Donation Story | Make Your Mark

Описание: Ruby was born with reflux of the kidneys, which over time developed into renal failure. She had her first dialysis session on her 10th birthday in 2002.

When she was 19, Ruby got the life-changing call that a living kidney donor had been found who was willing to donate one of his kidneys, and who was a match for her.

"My kidney donor gave me a life to live for. I have done things I had never considered doing whilst on dialysis."

Most of us are born with two kidneys, but we only need one to lead a happy and healthy life. A living donation is the best current treatment option for most people like Ruby who need a transplant.
