A member asked:
Had nephrectomy 15yrs ago. i only have one normal functioning kidney now. can i donate blood? why yes and why not? help
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Here are some ...: Living with an acquired solitary kidney like you is not a contraindication to donate blood as long as you're healthy with no blood-borne transmitted diseases like HIV, hepatitis - B & C, syphilis, etc. But some restrictions for such may exist among different countries. So, ask your local institutions for details.
