A 15 year old girl from Jerusalem came all the way to Minnesota for her second kidney transplant, but once in Minnesota, the journey to save her life became even more uncertain.
The living donor the family brought with them from Israel is no longer a suitable match, and now they are stranded in our state, with a dire need, but no donor. Sara Zalaznik has a rare kidney disease that requires a living donor, and few people are a match in Israel. She had her first kidney transplant in the United States at the age of three, but now her kidney is failing again.
The family says ideally a donor would be a healthy man or woman ages 18 to 40, with no kidney, lung or chronic diseases, with blood types A or O.
The University of Minnesota Amplatz Children's Hospital along with the University of Minnesota Medical Center just performed its 8000th kidney transplant. The U of M has offered guidelines if people decide they want to be evaluated for a kidney donation.
