A member asked:
My dad (62 years) has a stage iv chronic kidney disease.if there is a chance of kidney transplant can i (girl 19 years) donate kidney to him?

You can ask: Kidney donation depends both on your own basic health & the suitability of the tissue match. At 19 most states would give you the power of consent. You would undergo an evaluation to be sure you had two healthy kidneys. The rest is up to the team & sorting out all the family issues that give us all headaches. Good luck.
