A member asked:
Would previously having being diagnosed/treated for a bladder infection (~7 months ago) prohibit me from being a potential kidney donor?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No. There must be no UTI at the time of donation, but past infection isn't a problem at all. Good for you considering donating a kidney and best wishes for the recipient.
