A living donor is someone who has volunteered to donate a part of their liver or a kidney to someone suffering end-stage organ failure. All living donors are thoroughly evaluated to make sure they are an appropriate candidate. As Ginny L. Bumgardner, MD, PhD, a transplant surgeon at Ohio State’s Wexner Medical Center explains, one of the greatest benefits of a living donor is that the recipient can schedule the transplant procedure before they need to begin dialysis.
