Facing a chronic illness alone can be hard for you and your family. If you have fears or concerns, talk with people close to you. Talk with your healthcare team and other people with kidney disease. Ask for support or help right away when you need it. Ask your healthcare team about support groups in your area for you and family members. Contact national organizations that offer expert advice and education.

Kidney stones are made up of chemical crystals that separate out from urine. These crystals clump together to make stones. They may stay in the kidney or move into the urinary tract.

Saint Luke’s is a leader in kidney transplantation—performing the first successful kidney transplant in the Kansas City area in 1969 and the first living kidney donation surgery via laparoscopy in the region.

Patients who receive organs from living donors tend to have better outcomes than those who receive organs from deceased donors. Our living kidney donor experts perform living kidney donor surgeries and offer personalized support and unmatched expertise to donors who consider this selfless act.
