On the Thursday, Oct. 30 episode of the Today Show, the Oscar-winning actor shared the life-changing decision for the first time.
The actor — who is already a longtime advocate for blood donation — was then asked what prompted his selfless decision.
An altruistic donation, also called a non-directed donation, is a form of living organ donation where the recipient is not known to the donor and is chosen based on medical compatibility, rather than personal connection.
Eisenberg also shared some insight into the process for those who are unfamiliar.
He said he first got the idea to become an altruistic donor a decade ago, but after contacting an unnamed organization, he never received a response.
"I was in the hospital the next day and went through a battery of tests, and I'm now scheduled in mid-December," he said.
"The way it works now is you can put a list of whoever you would like to be the first to be at the top of the list," he said, referring to the National Kidney Foundation's family voucher program.
"So it's risk-free for my family, as well," he added.
