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?

I wonder if that's even possible?

In the same vein, could the donor come back to you and get your other kidney if yours fails? Kinda like an organ lemon law?

He's saying under normal circumstances. And he's right. If that other dude is on meds due to the donation, it's because of some kind of complication, which are pretty rare.

That's funny, I just checked for the words "under normal circumstances" in BigRichard's post, and sure enough, they weren't there.

Complications being "pretty rare" probably doesn't mean much to a guy suffering from life long complications.

I’m confident the need for the donor to be on life long meds is extremely rare.

Funny, I read it as though that was implied since we don't usually talk about fringe cases like they're everyday occurrences.

Yes, it sucks for that guy. There is inherent risk any time you let a surgeon cut you open. It'd be interesting to hear from the guy "suffering" (the poster described it as a "hassle") if he'd do it again, knowing what he knows now. I'll bet he'd do it again.

I've wondered if you could make it a loaner kidney. You donate it, but only on the condition that if you outlive the person who receives it, they'll put it back in you for free.

And if they do, do you then have to take medicines as an organ recipient, or does the rest of your body welcome the traveling kidney back and it's all cool? I would presume that it would be the second case.

Maybe you could also make it a conditional loan. You give a person one kidney, but only on the condition that your other kidney holds up. If your remaining kidney goes bad, they have to take the loaned one out of the recipient and put it back into you.

A grandniece of mine lost kidney function at 9 months of age. She was on dialysis from then 'til she got a cadaver transplant 2 years ago. Since her condition was caused from genetics on both sides of her family no one in the family was eligible as donors. She is now a (short) thriving 17 year old, driving and participating in life to it's fullest. Her having that condition has really raised awareness in our family on the importance of being an organ donor and everyone one of us has that designation on ou driver's licenses/state id's. I think it's awesome that someone would be willing to give a total stranger an integral part of their body so that person could live longer. Not sure I'm that awesome.
