Title: pre-emptive kidney transplants
Post by: okarol on March 15, 2007, 08:05:59 AM

If you received a kidney transplant prior to ever going on dialysis, or if you tried to avoid dialysis but were not able,  would you e-mail me about your experience?  NKF is studying the impact of "pre-emptive kidney transplants (no dialysis)"  and I would like to know the long and short range financial impact it had on you, as well as other important points you would like NKF to know.  Do e-mail me at cathyp@kidney.org    Thank you so much!   - Cathy

Should be having my pre-emptive in a matter of weeks, so I'll let you know of how I go.
