When you donate a kidney through the National Kidney Registry (NKR), you are covered by a wide range of protections, one of which is kidney prioritization.

My donation story began 26 years ago when I met the love of my life—my wife, Elaine. She has polycystic kidney disease (PKD). It’s a horrible disease that has plagued her family for generations. Her mother, late grandmother, uncle, and brother all have or had PKD.
