Need evaluation: You may have other reasons to disqualify from being a donor. If it is important for you, begin the eval process with the transplant center. Malaria could be dormant in the liver, not the kidneys. But is a blood disease. If all is okay, including match, decision about malaria history will depend on your exam, lab eval, and the opinion of the transplant center and their infectious disease specialist.
