Tito Needs a Kidney is a candid firsthand memoir about kidney failure, dialysis, living donation, transplant loss, cancer, and the long road to a second kidney transplant.

Tito Erb shares what these experiences felt like beyond the medical charts: the routines of dialysis, the uncertainty of waiting, the complicated emotions surrounding donation, the devastation of losing a transplanted kidney, and the challenge of rebuilding a life after serious illness.

Written in a direct, personal voice, the book explores self-advocacy, family, friendship, work, fear, gratitude, grief, and hope without pretending that recovery follows a simple path.

For people living with kidney disease, transplant recipients, donors, caregivers, families, and anyone trying to understand the human side of chronic illness, Tito Needs a Kidney offers one patient's honest perspective on surviving treatment while continuing to build a life around it.

This is a memoir based on lived experience, not medical advice.
