A member asked:
Can you tell me how long is the recovery after donating a kidney?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not too long, but...: Recovery from surgery shouldn't be too long - may be couple of weeks, depending on the surgical techinique used, complications etc. As for the kidney function itself, infrequently donors experience some marginal drop of kidney function, which may become chronic (not recovering) or get better over period of few month
