price of kidney - #15252

Simran

I am feeling kinda lost and anxious about this whole kidney situation. Long story short, my brother was diagnosed with kidney failure a few months ago, and it's been a whirlwind ever since. He's been on dialysis, but the doctors mentioned that a transplant might be the best option, which got me thinking. I was just googling about the price of kidney transplants, and wow, it’s way more than I expected. Like, I’m seeing numbers that just don’t seem real! I mean, I knew it would be pricey but I didn’t think the price of kidney surgeries could reach into the hundreds of thousands. How can a family even manage that? I keep wondering if there’s some sort of help out there, or if there are payment plans for the price of kidney transplants? Also, do hospitals usually provide any guidance or resources when it comes to this? My brother's health is getting worse and decisions need to be made fast. I just want to know if we're missing any options regarding the price of kidney treatment, or if there are organizations that can help alleviate some of the burden. Anyone have experience or thoughts on navigating this madness?
