i have some experience here... I have a sister- in law who donated to my husband. bless you for considering it. questions are for you to decide based upon your personsal feelings, but here is some of our experiences, Our sister was in more pain then my husband and took longer to recover.. they do a more invasive surgery to remove a kidney than to put one in. however if you really care for the recipient it is worth it. My sister asked what are the long term risks?, what about pregnancy if you are female, not advised with only one kidney, how long will you be recovering? 6-8 weeks untill you feel really good agian, and no heavy lifting is allowed for 3 months after. ask about disability payment/insurance at your place of employment also, plan ahead.
i hope you decide to go ahead, it is a wonderful gift and your recipient will be so much healthier. GOOD LUCK (please feel free to contact me thru the profile)

I couldn't just sit around and do nothing like my doctors suggested.
They didn't want me to do anything or to take herbs or herbal remedies, but I had to try something - they just wanted me to do dialysis!
This program allowed me to take control of my health. I went from Stage 4 to Stage 3 kidney disease.
It was easy to do and my BUN, creatinine and anemia are all in better ranges.
