A member asked:
What health risks should my mom expect after donating her kidney?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Donating kidneys: Since a kidney donor is screened very thoroughly, the biggest issue is a little discomfort after surgery. This goes away fairly quickly. Most donors do not have any significant problems after donating the kidney and have normal renal function and health afterwards.
