How will my life change after i donate my kidney?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Very little change: In order to donate your kidneys, the transplant center should screen you extensively to make sure there is very little risk of you developing kidney disease and ending up on dialysis. There is a slight risk your blood pressure may be higher in the future. You may feel better about yourself helping another. Otherwise, should be little change other than having only one kidney left.
