According to Dr. Aaron Spital, studies suggest that kidney transplantation from living donors offer the best results for pediatric patients with end-stage renal disease. Fortunately, many parents are willing to donate a kidney to improve the health of their child. Not all parents can donate, however, because of tissue incompatibility with their child, and not all patients have such willing parents. Under some circumstances, pediatric patients in need of a renal transplant look to siblings for a kidney donation.1
