Live kidney donor Pastor Derek Lambert at First Baptist Church of High Springs, Florida.
ABC News Nightline coverage of Easter Sunday services at First Baptist Church High Springs Florida. Here Nightline producer Ely Brown films Pastor Derek Lambert preaching, prior to his donating a kidney at the UAB (University of Alabama at Birmingham). The Living Kidney Donation Program at UAB enables a healthy individual to donate a kidney to someone in need of a transplant – the surgical placement of a healthy human kidney into the body of a patient with kidney failure. Because of the lack of available deceased-donor organs, the Living Kidney Donation Program helps to meet the growing need for organs among those awaiting a kidney transplant. A living donor may be a relative, spouse, or even a close friend of the recipient. To be considered as a living-kidney donor, you need to be in good health and without any history of high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, or other major illness. An outpatient, comprehensive kidney donor evaluation is performed to determine if you are a suitable donor.
