Yes, you can be a donor. Make sure that the blood pressure medication you are on is the kinds that causes the least damamge to the kidneys.

As long as your hypertension is controlled and you are a tissue match, donation should not be a problem. If all goes well, the day before the procedure, you'll be instructed to fast but to take your blood pressure medications with a minimum of water on the morning of the surgery. Your blood pressure will be checked the day of the surgery and if it's within acceptable parameters, you'll be good to go. If it's too high, there's a risk of hemorrhage and the procedure will be cancelled.
