In honor of National Donor Day on Feb 14th, the latest episode Mayo Clinic Q&A takes a look at living donor kidney transplant.

Educating would-be donors and recipients about the advantages of living donation is key.
Dr. Mikel Prieto, a Mayo Clinic transplant surgeon, discusses the living kidney donation option.
