Overview
- Eisenberg told NBC’s Today he plans to donate a kidney in about six weeks, with surgery scheduled for mid-December.
- The donation will go to an unrelated, anonymous recipient as part of a non-directed living kidney donation.
- He says hospital evaluations are complete after a physician friend connected him with a transplant center when an earlier inquiry drew no response.
- Eisenberg, who donates blood regularly, called living kidney donation “completely risk-free” and “urgently needed.”
- Coverage notes a National Kidney Foundation program could prioritize his relatives on waitlists if they ever need a transplant.
