Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. Are kidney donors able to live normal, healthy lives after donation?
Donors can live a normal life after donation. We fully evaluate everybody prior to allowing them to donate, and if we do determine that there are contraindications to donating and we’re putting them at high risk, then we will not clear somebody to donate.
2. Does donating a kidney shorten your lifespan?
Donors actually tend to live a longer life because they tend to take better care of themselves post-donation and hence have a better quality of life.
3. Are kidney donors more likely to get kidney disease?
A huge component of the donor evaluation is assessing the kidney function of the potential donor. If it’s determined that that donor has any type of kidney disease, they will not be allowed to donate.
4. Will a female kidney donor still be able to get pregnant after donation?
A female kidney donor should wait at least six months after donation to become pregnant. The body requires time to recover from the surgery and to adjust to living with one kidney prior to pregnancy.
