I Want to Donate My Kidneys But...
Posted: 09-25-07 23:34pm

But, I'm not sure what will happen to me if I'm left with only 1 kidney to function ?

= Will I be prone to falling sick or eventually contract kidney problems ?
= Will I still be able to play sports like I normally do, as often as I can.
= What are the various problems kidney donors encounter after donating their kidneys ?
= What are their side-effects of donating a kidney ?
= Do I have to be on medication all the time until I kick the bucket due to donating my kidneys ?

Oh boy, I've endless amount of questions. But, deep inside I want to donate my kidney to help someone.

I'm 25/M/Healthy/Don't smoke or drink/Health Conscious

Hope to hear from anyone !

Best

I think this is the greatest gift. rainbow
There are so many people waiting for a kidney.
You can start by asking your own doctor, then look into contacting your local hospital as to how to go about doing this.
Thank you from all the people with chronic kidney disease.. thanks

Many people have one kidney. Some are born that way. It is indeed the most precious gift you can give. The gift of life. You can contact your local kidney foundation. I am sure they would be more than happy to help you with information. Bless you and I hope you can make a decision that you are comfortable with. Take care. angel
