Is it safe for a person to donate a kidney?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, usually: Most healthy adults can donate a kidney with very little long-term risk. All possible donors should be carefully screened for conditions that could increase their risk of problems. Only truly healthy people should be living donors.
