(New York, NY) –November 1, 2010-- A few simple questions can help patients and their doctors predict whether a kidney transplant from a deceased donor will succeed long-term, according to new research published in the November issue of the American Journal of Kidney Diseases, the official journal of the National Kidney Foundation.

One of Dave Johney’s earliest memories is visiting his uncle in the hospital as he recovered from a kidney transplant. As a result, Dave became actively involved with the NKF. When it was time for him to buy a new car, what else would he do with his old one but donate it to the Kidney Cars program? Dave knew the proceeds would help the 26 million Americans with kidney disease.
