Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)



1. 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.



2. Will a kidney donor experience debilitating pain for an extended period of time?

 A kidney donor will have some pain after surgery from both the incisions and related to gas and bloating. This pain will diminish in the days following surgery and can be controlled with pain medication if necessary.



3. Will a kidney donor be on bed rest following surgery? 

A kidney donor will be out of bed and walking independently before discharge from the hospital.



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.
