Suggest Diet For Good Condition Of Kidneys

Hello,
I'm going to be donating a kidney to a friend soon, and I'm in the final stages of medical evaluations and what-not to see if our plumbing is a match. I'm wondering if there's a particular type of diet I could get into until the procedure that would be especially good for my kidneys. I want them in squeaky clean, tip-top shape for the operation. any suggestions?
thank you for your time.

Hello Matt and welcome to HCM. As an Urologist and kidney transplant surgeon,i can understand your anxiety. First of all,i must congratulate you for taking this noble decision.Before a kidney transplant surgery,there are 3 tests,which must be matching :
1. blood group match. 2. PRA match and 3. tissue match or HLA match.
Then the blood tests,to determine medical fitness, along with chest X-ray ECG, and CT angiography with IVU,
will be done, to know kidney status.
Donors just need to have a healthy,balanced diet.
