My mother is preparing to donate one of her kidneys to a friend with polycystic kidney disease who is currently on dialysis. I should mention that the friend is on the transplant list, but they think it will take at least two more years.

Does anybody out there have personal experience with kidney donation, especially regarding the risks for the donor? Also, my mom was tested for compatibility, and the only match is the blood type--none of the other antigens are the same. I thought this would lead to rejection, but the doctors assured my mother that the anti-rejection drugs are really good and the kidney will probably not be rejected. However, they might be trying not to discourage her from donating, and may not be the most reliable sources.

I feel nervous about the risks to my mom, especially when the kidney might be rejected. Any thoughts on this?

I would also appreciate it if you could give me the sources of your information so that I can do some reading. Thanks!

or walk. The pain has moved about 2 inches in the last 2 days. I have also gotten a little dizzy with a upset stomach but that has only happened twice, and doesn't last for very long. I have used the Symptom Checker online and it all says that I could have a blood clot, I really don't think that is what it is, what else could it be, should I be worried. I don't want to go the doctor. (still paying off medical bills from my last baby) If it is a blood clot, do they move, do they go away? Or could it be something else. Help me please!!!

I have a friend who is now on probabtion, part of his probation stipulations is no alcohol consumption, accompaning random alcohol testing. Is there anyway to rid your system of alcohol so that it is undetectable by a breathalizer or urine test? I know that this is a dumb question, I had to ask however.

This is a gastric by pass surgery. I'm not talking about the lap band procedure.
This is the one where they give you a list of all the things that can go wrong & death is a the bottom of the list.
I understand that AMA was trying to get this surgery banned because of the high mortality rate.
I had mine done in 1998.
