Greetings! Welcome to my A Kidney for Scott Facebook page. I'm writing this from my dialysis chair in Vancouver, WA. I'm 44 years old. As noted in my page description, I was diagnosed with kidney failure in June, 2012 due to the disease of IgA Nephropathy, which is a build-up of protein in the kidneys. I began dialysis immediately in the hospital and continued hemodialysis at Vancouver DaVita... once I came home. My blood type is O, so I need a donor with a similar type.
I was married in 2001 to my lovely wife Debra and helped raise my now-adult stepsons Ian and Preston. I've continued to maintain my full-time employment as a grocery clerk at Fred Meyer in Vancouver, a position I've held since 1986.
Since a kidney transplant with a live donor has a considerably-better outcome than a transplant conducted with a cadaver kidney, it's my hope that someone will donate a kidney so I can resume a normal existence and end my need for dialysis treatments. Thanks for visiting my page, and have a terrific day.
