The former nba player, Nate Robinson, has a successful kidney transplant

Last spring, we pointed out that the former NBA player Nate Robinson, desperately needed a new kidney. He admitted to the Daily Mail which he feared not to live much longer without a transplant. We are pleased to announce that, according to The Chronicle, the former New York Knicks player, Boston Celtics, Golden State Warriors and Chicago Bulls, who also played for the idea of ​​Ice Cube, Big3, announced that he would get his transplant at the University of Washington Medical Center.

Having his operation at the University of Washington Medical Center meant that he came home to do so. Robinson, 40, was a “Husky” star and a leader for their team.

As a reminder, black men represent 17% of all cases of chronic kidney disease.

Robinson made a long trip. In October 2022, he announced that he was fighting kidney insufficiency for four years. However, he discovered that his kidneys were a problem in 2005, but he continued to have a career of 11 seasons.

After his surgery, Robinson told CNN through his agent, Polo Kerber: “I am grateful for my doctors, the University of Washington, my family, my donor and his family. Kerber added that Robinson already felt and had a better post-surgery and was standing and walked.

According to ESPN, Robinson obtained his new kidney from a living donor during one hour transplant surgery. After the former Dunk Triple champion returned his public fate, he learned that the University of Washington had been flooded with offers of people willing to give their kidneys.

Last fall, Robinson crossed a series of preparatory procedures, including colonoscopy, while doctors reduced the number of potential donors. And he found one in a man named Shane Cleveland, whom Robinson called “family at first sight”.

Shane says he found another mother in Nate’s mother, Renee Busch.

If Robinson was to start again, he would then have seated his recruit year and obtained a kidney, but the decline is still 20-20. But after waking up a kidney so long, Robinson told ESPN that he did not intend to take him for granted.

“Later in life, when I receive a kidney, I will look back, like” shit, I really crossed all of this “,” he said. “This kidney that I receive, I’m going to cherish it. I will treat him like a baby. I’m going to do whatever I am supposed to do. “
