A member asked:
Is it safe for a kidney transplant patient to donate blood?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
No.: The reason is primarily that recipients take immunosuppressive drugs that are in the blood, and would be transferred with the donated blood which is not safe. In addition, many kidney recipients have some anemia that would preclude donation.
