What happens to a Living kidney donor post a successful kidney donation.
A healthy and fit donor lives a perfectly normal life post the donation of one of his kidneys. Anything which
is not good for the health of a person with both kidney functioning normally is also considered bad for the live donor. Regular and periodic checkups are suggested for a live donor. As high blood pressure and diabetes are considered two major causes of kidney function going bad, the donor is advised to follow a healthy lifestyle for remaining disease free.
