The AST’s Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access to Life (IDEAL) Committee has developed this toolkit to empower individuals navigating the kidney transplant process. The Black community, who represent almost 30% of candidates on the kidney waiting list, face unique challenges in kidney health and transplant access. This resource will guide you on key steps, including when to see a doctor, understanding transplant evaluations, planning your journey, and what to expect before and after your transplant. Be your strongest advocate with the tools and knowledge to make informed decisions.
