A Question About Giving up a kidney.
An acquaintance of mine donated a kidney. My wife told me about it.

I said, "Oh, did he have a sibling who needed it or something?"

She said, "No, he just always wanted to donate a kidney."

"Donate it to who?"

"Anyone. So he's made arrangements and he's donating one."

After several moments of disbelief and confusion, I finally understood that this guy had always thought it would be cool to donate a kidney, so he made arrangements and did it. Just had the doctors take it out, and presumably it's now in some other person.

I had no idea that a person could do this. I always figured that donations either came after death, or you could do it for a specific person. Did you know that a person could do this?

What do you think about this?

If I could, I would. Maybe not without knowing what I know now, four years into dialysis.

Donating a kidney shouldn’t be any more eventful than a few days in the hospital and a couple weeks of R&R. No new meds, no changes in lifestyle.

For the person receiving it, it not only is a literal life saver, it gives them back their life. Being tethered to a machine is no way to live. I know.
I thought about you when I heard it. I wish I could've hooked you two up.

I wonder with this guy if he would have liked to give it to a particular person or not. It appears that he wasn't motivated by helping a particular individual, even though that's the obvious outcome.

I wondered too about the payment. He's going to have significant medical bills, so I'm presuming that some organization or some person paid them for him. Was it the recipient? Some nonprofit? And my impression is that he didn't sell the kidney, though I guess I don't know that.

They can do whatever they want after I'm dead but until then only way I would donate is for a family or extremely close friend.







Or for a seven figure deal.

Recipients insurance usually covers all costs for the donor.

Do you mean where it won't cost the donor any money to donate? Excellent, because it already doesn't. Medicare (ESRD is a qualifying factor) covers 100% of the cost for the donor. Recipient pays very little.

I know your body will function just fine with one kidney. But man, I like having a reserve.
Family donation -Yes.
Close Friend-Yes
Just because-? Probably not

It has and will continue to be unfortunately, at least for a few more generations.

You can be a defect carrier and never get symptoms yourself (kidney disease) and then pass it on.


Since its an X chromosome defect and Girls = XX and Boys = XY, males always determine gender.

If you are female and are a carrier you have a 50% chance of passing it along to your offspring, it depends on which X chromosome you pass to your kid, the good one or the bad one. If you are male and are a carrier if you have a girl well, you passed it on since you only have one X chromosome to give.

My grandfather who died from it had 6 daughters so they all ended up with it either symptomatic or as a carrier. 3 daughters were symptomatic, 3 were just carriers. 2 of my aunts who were asymptomatic passed it on to their sons who developed Kidney disease and had transplants. That's shit luck. The 3 symptomatic daughters all died from it.

Fortunately for me and my 2 brothers it appears all 3 of us dodged the bullet with our mom not passing the defective X chromosome to any of us as far as we can tell. My daughter has been genetically tested and she isn't a carrier so no way am I a carrier. My brothers only have 1 boy between them so its possible they are carriers but neither are symptomatic and it usually manifests itself by your 20's if you will be. So they wont be passing it on fortunately.

No, that's not what I meant at all. The doctor's getting paid. The hospital's getting paid. Why shouldn't the donor get paid?
