Enrolled with the National Living Donor Assistance Center, which reimburses eligible donors for travel, lodging, lost wages and dependent care. We have not verified this center either way — ask their living donor program.

Paired exchange

Runs kidney paired donation, so a willing donor who is not compatible with their person can still get them a kidney through an exchange.

How their evaluation works

“Johns Hopkins's kidney transplant page says the Comprehensive Transplant Center participates in kidney swaps and exchanges, where donor and recipient pairs trade organs, and separately runs an Incompatible Kidney Transplant Program for donor and patient pairs who are not compatible.”

Donor protections in Maryland

Grade A. Maryland is among the better-protected states, with 6 of the seven protections tracked. Still worth reading which ones — they cover quite different things.

Federal family leave can already cover donation. A law written for living donors has not passed yet. See the full picture for Maryland.
