Transplantation information

In the UK, around half of all kidney transplants in children come from living related donors. 

There is more information about living donation on the NHS Blood and Transplantation website.  

The following video explains what is involved in living donation.

There are more videos like this on the Transplant TV website. 

NHS Blood and Transplantation have also produced some patient information leaflets about specific aspects of living donation:

• Frequently asked questions about becoming a living kidney donor 
• Donating a kidney to a child
• Donor health and living kidney donation
• Psychological aspects of living kidney donation
• Pregnancy and living kidney donation
• Information about donating to someone you don't know

In Nottingham, the living donor team is based at the City Hospital site.
