[quote=Anonymous]Because many individuals with disabilities have a guardian or health care provider making sure they're getting to their appointments, the compliance is not an issue," said Marilee Martens, program director of Nisonger Center at The Ohio State University. [b]Martens wrote a 2006 report examining the outcome of patients with developmental delays who received kidney transplants. The report published in Pediatric Transplantation concluded that the one-year patient survival rate was 100% and the three-year outcome was 90%.[/b] The child can get a kidney donated from an ADULT in her own family. They have health insurance. If she is not too medically fragile her intellectual disability should not keep her from getting a kidney from a willing adult donor in her own family.[/quote]
