Hello Dhirrnder, I really appreciate your thought and intention.
Successful Kidney transplants are carried out all over the world today. For any transplant program, the utmost priority is the healthy donor.
For kidney donation, firstly you will be thoroughly examined and investigated to look for any subclinical kidney disease or any risk factors (diabetes, HTN) predisposing you to future kidney problems.
Now lets assume that you are completely healthy and donate one of your kidneys.
Following are the precautions you ought to take in your future
1. Routine blood tests ( kidney function, urine)
2. Regular monitoring of your blood pressure
3. To avoid any addictions (alcohol, smoking)
4. To avoid taking any medications in excess that are harmful for your kidneys (pain killers, nephrotoxic drugs)
5. Lastly, remember you will be having a single kidney, so in simple ways if at home you have a electricity shut down, you switch over to back up. In the same way if you have some infection in future, you will have only one kidney to fight.
Overall, it is one of the safest organ donations with little surgical or post surger complications till you maintain a healthy lifestyle
Feel free to post any further queries
Thanks
