Renal failure is a common complication of diabetes. The poor circulation caused by the diabetes often damages kidney tissue. Healthy tissue takes on the workload of the damaged tissue, only to become overloaded with a resulting increase in the amount of damage. This process continues until the entire kidney is affected. This is known as end-stage renal failure.

At this point, the only option is extensive dialysis or a kidney transplant. It is becoming more common for a relative or friend to become a living donor. This is the fastest way for patients in the United States to receive a transplant. With over 50,000 people needing a new kidney, the waiting time is as much as three years or more.

Kidneys Available to Treat Renal Failure
In many English-speaking countries around the world, there are laws making it possible for "Presumed Consent" to provide an abundance of donor organs. At J. Cohan and Associates, it's our job to match the availability of non-U.S. organs with recipients in the United States. Such grafts are highly successful when compared to those in the United States.

For more details, check out our website at www.transplantcoordinator.com. We have the experience and the contacts to provide immediate transplants in countries recognized for successful transplant procedures. Safety and legal issues are of primary concern and we do everything possible to assure a successful experience. The cost is not covered by insurance; therefore, it is necessary to make financial plans for the entire expense. A complete kidney transplant is $125,000 in U. S. dollars.
