A member asked:

Preparing for a kidney donation - suggestions needed like what to eat/drink, and how to prepare mentally?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Best of luck: Firstly. Congratulations; that is a wonderfully generous thing for you to do for someone else. You should feel proud. Just stay healthy by eating a regular diet, exercise, get a good nights sleep; and of course don't smoke.
