Research Notes on Natalie Cole Kidney Transplant


Singer Natalie Cole underwent a kidney transplant on May 18, 2009, after suffering from kidney disease in addition to hepatitis C. Cole's representatives say the hepatitis had been completely cured before she received her transplant.1 While Cole recovered from her successful, life-saving operation, her sister passed away tragically just hours later after a diagnosis of lung cancer only one week earlier.2

Fast Facts:

  • Cole spoke publicly about her battle with hepatitis C which she believes she contracted due to illicit drug use years earlier.3
  • Cole had been undergoing kidney dialysis three times each week before receiving the transplant.3
  • Cole's transplant, which was coordinated by OneLegacy, came from a terminally ill fan who specifically asked that the singer receive the transplant if the two were a match.4
