How many days will i be out of class after a kidney donation?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
4-6 weeks: Although most donors are healthiest of the healthy people, the laparoscopic donor nephrectomy will put you out of commission for a good 4-6 weeks. Living donors usually require pain meds for at least a couple of weeks and they will not be able to be back to their usual level of activity for some time.
