The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
To be eligible to donate a kidney to Devon, you must meet the following requirements:
Here are 3 ways to check your blood type:
The kidney transplant will be performed laparoscopically, which means they'll use a camera and only make very small incisions. Recovery from laparoscopic surgery is a lot faster than open surgery, and complications are rare. You can expect to stay in the hospital for 1-2 days for observation. Most patients are ready to get back to normal activity quickly after donation.
Yes. As long as you're in the United States, you can complete your testing at a local hospital. The transplant team in San Diego will coordinate with you over the phone. Unfortunately, we’re not able to consider donors outside the United States.
Donating a kidney is an incredible and selfless act, with life-saving benefits for the recipient:
Kidney donors also have higher quality of life scores after donation, which may be related to an increase in self-esteem and well-being.
Yes. Donating a kidney will not change your life expectancy or increase your risk of kidney failure. You can live a normal life with just one kidney.
The donor's medical expenses are covered in full by the recipient's insurance, including:
Travel expenses are usually covered by the donor. If that could be a hardship for you, please let us know — we have a strong support system that is willing to help!
Although this is possible, we're currently only looking for compatible O+ or O- donors.
If you have questions, please email us at kidneyfordevon@gmail.com.
Kidney failure, also known as end-stage renal disease (ESRD), is the final, permanent stage of chronic kidney disease. When a patient is diagnosed with ESRD, their kidney function has declined to the point the kidneys can no longer function on their own. Fluid and waste will build up in the body with nowhere to go, making the patient extremely sick. Patients typically need dialysis or a kidney transplant to survive for more than a few weeks with ESRD.
The kidneys perform many complex and vital functions that keep the rest of the body in balance. For example, kidneys:
Dialysis is a form of kidney replacement therapy, performed when a patient's kidneys are no longer healthy enough to take care of the body's needs. There are two types of dialysis: hemodialysis and peritoneal dialysis. Devon has done both, but is currently on peritoneal dialysis.
In hemodialysis, the patient's blood is pumped out of their body and filtered through a large artificial kidney machine. This machine removes toxins and fluid from the blood, then returns the blood to the patient's body. This process takes about 4 hours, requires a nurse, and is usually performed 3 times per week.
In peritoneal dialysis, a catheter is inserted in the patient's abdomen. Dialysis is performed by filling and draining the abdomen with a dextrose-based solution, which absorbs toxins and fluid. This process of filling and draining takes about 10 hours, and is performed at home every day.
