Yes, but no: A healthy 16-year-old can generally lose a kidney (to trauma, etc) with few long-term consequences, so donation should be safe. However, very few transplant programs will take a donor who cannot legally consent. Donation does have long-term risks, and even with the most altruistic motives, a 16-year-old should not be making this type of decision.

Question 8

how safe is embolization for angiomyolipoma on kidney?

Accepted Answer

Depends on reason: Embolization is indicated for renal angiomyolipomas in the setting of bleeding from the tumors.  In such cases, the procedure can be life-saving and can also help preserve kidney tissue (as opposed to taking the whole organ out).  In skilled hands, it is considered to be relatively safe and necessary procedure.  As with all vascular procedures, the major risk is bleeding from the site.
