We have had a few come and go through the years, but a lot of patients that young get transplanted very quickly.  I know that Riki was on dialysis when she was very young and Kristina almost landed on dialysis at around 17.  Okarol's daughter was on dialysis at that age and has had two transplants now.  If you look back in the forum, you will find more.  There might be more younger people on the Facebook page, but I am not part of the Facebook group.

You'd be welcome to join the 'YoungNKF Facebook page'  although its UK based.
