Brief Answer:
No any abnormality would disqualify you.

Detailed Answer:
Good Day and thank you for being with Healthcare Magic!

a person with high PSA and kidney stones would not be a very good candidate for donation. We cannot donate kidneys from person who has stones since we may donate the stone or the stone forming kidney to the recipient. To be a kidney donor you should have a normal urinary system.

I hope I have succeeded in providing the information you were looking for. Please feel free to write back to me for any further clarifications at: http://www.HealthcareMagic.com/doctors/dr-manuel-c-see-iv/66014 I would gladly help you. Best wishes

Brief Answer:
yes stone disease is a recurring problem.

Detailed Answer:
Technically even if the stone has been removed you are more prone to develop succeding stones in the future as compared to the general population. 50% of stone formers would develop another stone in 5 years time. To prevent kidney stones you should consume a lot of water (2-3 liters per day) and this is the best way to ensure that you don't develop new stones. Another would be to have a low oxalate low purine diet together with a low salt low fat diet. This has been proven to decrease stone recurrences in large population based studies.

Whether stone disease has been shown to cause Renal failure , stone per se does not cause renal failure unless it associated with infection or obstruction. The common causes of renal failure is still systemic diseases like hypertension and diabetes. Long term intake of pain relievers have been also shown to cause renal failure.

For the donor screening protocols, this varies depending on the region and country you are in and how strict they are and how they apply the rules. For me I would not recommend you as a kidney donor since your have urologic problems of your own and may cause you problems in the long run if you only he one kidney left. Unless you are the only potential donor left and you understand the possible consequences of your actions.
