Kidney Care and the Importance of Donation

Kidney disease is one of the most common reasons people in India need an organ transplant. In this video, Dr. Ameteshwar Singh of Kidney Care Clinic, Jammu talks about kidney care and why organ donation is so important for patients with kidney failure.

For many patients, a transplant is the best way off long-term dialysis and back to a fuller life. Kidneys can come from a living donor, usually a close family member, or from a deceased donor after brain stem death, and every donor who comes forward shortens the waiting list.

Watch to understand the link between kidney health and donation, look after your own kidneys, and consider pledging your organs so that your decision can one day help someone waiting for a kidney.
