8 Northwell Health | 2017 Annual Report The waiting list Five years earlier, Matthew had been diagnosed with focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, a common cause of pediatric kidney disease. He grew weaker, his kidneys struggled to function and he underwent dialysis three times a week for three and a half hours, hooked up to a machine that took over his kidney function when he certainly would’ve preferred being on the basketball court. Moreover, his mother, Jennifer, also has kidney disease and needs a kidney transplant. Waiting for a transplant, let alone a perfect match, can take years — months if you’re lucky. According to the National Kidney Foundation, a new patient is added to the kidney transplant waiting list every 14 minutes; the average wait is three and a half years. Among the nearly 122,000 people waiting for transplants, more than 100,000 are kidney disease patients. As a pediatric patient, Matthew was given priority on the waiting list. He waited three months before receiving a call about a deceased donor kidney, the most common type used in transplants. To date, Cohen Children’s has successfully performed seven kidney transplants. Given its growing track record, the staff hope to expand its services to children in need of other types of transplants, including heart, lung and liver. Matthew is doing well, with stable kidney function — weathering high school, playing basketball and being a regular teenager. He even got the chance to throw the first pitch at a Mets game this year. And when it’s his mom’s turn to go down this road, he will be right by her side, just as she was for him.

MIBG, metaiodobenzylguanidine, is a radiopharmaceutical (a radioactive drug) which can be given in high doses to deliver concentrated radiation directly to neuroblastoma tumors. Neuroblastoma is a rare, very aggressive cancer that forms in the sympathetic nervous system and is often fatal. There are an estimated 800 new cases every year, with about half of those children being considered high risk and potential candidates for high-dose MIBG therapy. The new high-dose MIBG program, which opened in December 2017, is unique in the tri-state area. Before it opened, families would have to travel to hospitals in Boston or Philadelphia for MIBG treatment, as did the Kostaris family from Middle Village, Queens. Along with a grant from the St. Baldrick’s Foundation, a nonprofit that seeks to eradicate childhood cancer, the Kostaris family was able to fund the high-dose MIBG facility at Cohen Children’s through their foundation, Anastasia’s Legacy.
