Where is Nicholas Kristof when we need him? Every few months or so I come across a nervous comment from a recent living donor in a Facebook living donors group who has been told she (yes, more often than not, living donors are women) has stage 3 kidney disease– despite being healthy and having relatively normal kidney function. It used to make me mad, now it makes me sad. When I saw one again a few days ago, I meant to go back armed with links to some important articles and one of my blog posts, but I never did. So, as usual, I find I need to dust off this topic and post something again. Please read here. But my platform is just a fraction of what a respected journalist/advocate like @NickKristof can employ. Please, Nick, we need you!
