List of countries & contacts proving living donor kidney transplant…?

Hi, my cousin is in dire need of a kidney transplant with both his kidneys not functioning & he is on dialysis every 2 days. He is too young to be on this kind of medical support. So we desperately seek any information regarding list of countries & contacts providing living donor kidney transplant. Any quick response will be higly appreciated. NEED HELP URGENTLY!!!

Are you in the U.S.? Because, if so, your cousin should already have been assessed for the organ transplant waiting list. If you are interested in finding a living donor for your cousin then YOU should get tested, or find another of your cousin’s friends or relatives to be evaluated. Why expect a stranger to do for your cousin what you are not willing to do.

Also, there are many risks, both physical and psychosocial for living donors. Many cannot obtain health or life insurance afterward, and many suffer from depression and PTSD-like symptoms. In addition, there is no long-term data regarding the health of living donors, so your request may condemn a well-meaning stranger to a shortened life span or one with much difficulty.

Please educate yourself at the sites listed below.
