In December 2010, one phone message changed everything for Greg Baldauf. After thirty-five years of living with polycystic kidney disease (PKD), he learned that his kidneys were in renal failure and he would need a transplant to survive. My New Kidney & Me tells his story: the long search for a donor, the anxious lead-up to transplant surgery, the sometimes-disorienting recovery process, and the gratitude and joy that came after. Baldauf's words will be illuminating for anyone going through this situation, describing the physical, psychological, and emotional struggles that can come when facing a failure of the body. My New Kidney & Me brings the mysteries of transplant surgery out of the dark and hope into the light.

In Kidney to Share, Martha Gershun tells the story of her decision to donate a kidney to a stranger. She takes readers through the complex process by which such donors are vetted to ensure that they are physically and psychologically fit to take the risk of a major operation. John D. Lantos, a physician and bioethicist, places Gershun's story in the larger context of the history of kidney transplantation and the ethical controversies that surround living donors. Together, they help readers understand the discoveries that made transplantation relatively safe and effective as well as the legal, ethical, and economic policies that make it feasible. Gershun and Lantos explore the steps involved in recovering and allocating organs. They analyze the differences that arise depending on whether the organ comes from a living donor or one who has died. They observe the expertise—and the shortcomings—of doctors, nurses, and other professionals and describe the burdens that we place on people who are willing to donate. In this raw and vivid book, Gershun and Lantos ask us to consider just how far society should go in using one person's healthy body parts in order to save another person. Kidney to Share provides an account of organ donation that is both personal and analytical. The combination of perspectives leads to a profound and compelling exploration of a largely opaque practice. Gershun and Lantos pull back the curtain to offer readers a more transparent view of the fascinating world of organ donation.

Throughout this book that I was writing I thought of so many people that I was introduce during my journey with the battle of kidney disease. I thought about all the nurses and patients that gave their sacrifi ce to keep going and do their job. Far as the nurses goes I know they gave a lot of commitment to see that everyone kept their spirits up and made sure everyone was comfortable and safe. Each day they greeted you with a smile and made sure you follow the guideline that was stated to you and them. The patients handled the situation the best they could and we always tried to get along with each other and the staff. We were always somewhat entertained and acknowledge of what was going on with our surroundings and us in the facility. This was especially noted when there was once in a while a storm or maybe a power failure. We all worked together to make sure everything still went as planned for everyone. Thus, what I expect from each one of you that reads my book is think of the book being helpful and aware of how things are for some kidney patients. I expect all kinds of emotions before and after you have read this book. I also expect if I can at least reach one of ten people know that life has its ups and downs on all parts of life. Far as something about me goes I never gave up one any situation that I had to overcome and that I always kept laughter in my heart and the people around me kept my spirits up with laughter and joy so that I did not always think about my predicament.

Kidney transplantation is a total life changing event that each kidney failure patient waits for tirelessly. The emotions of the telephone call on that day when the author was informed that he had to report straightaway to the hospital for a kidney transplant was immeasurable, and will live forever in his memory. With transplantation, a lot of things have to be taken into consideration; what to do and what to abstain from. Discovering how to prolong the life span of the kidney after transplantation made him think about writing part two of his story. It provides a comprehensive understanding of the kidney transplantation process, associated problems, and the positives for renal patients after successful transplantation so that they can understand how the changes they will face will affect their lives, and to know that they are not alone with this challenge. His aim is to enlighten the general public and to create more awareness about kidney transplantation - one of the stages of living a normal and healthy life after renal (kidney) failure. He provides valuable information and education for renal patients with little or no knowledge of kidney transplant procedures; much can be learned and gained from the book.

Living donor kidney (LDK) transplantation has become the definitive approach to the treatment of end-stage renal failure, providing a better quality of life and the best opportunity for survival when compared with dialysis or transplantation from a deceased donor. A timely compendium of the modern day practice of LDK transplantation from a group of outstanding international experts, this text explores a number of controversial aspects of this innovative new technique. Discussing in detail the current situation, the authors also focus on the responsibility of the medical community to the live kidney donor as a patient, and the potential for complacency regarding donor risk. Emphasizing the ethical principles that must dictate medical practice in LDK transplantation for the foreseeable future - voluntarism, informed consent and medical follow-up - this book comprehensively records the best practices currently available.
