In particular Kidney transplant?
no I haven`t but wouldn`t think twice about doing it if any of my friend or family needed one.
Im hoping to donate to my brother, he's been on dialysis for over 2 years, Ive got to get my bloods done, to start the matct procedure. Its the time perod, length in hospital, and how I/we will feel afterwards
More danger for the donor than the reciever.. a well versed thing now though, not quite routine however and has dangers attached for both. Things are so well versed now though they can spot danger well before it becomes an issue..
Not had one done but is a subject very close to heart. Myself, I had kidney failure 2 years ago now, result of an operation and a nasty infection that followed, 5 long days they closed down and things looked grim but thank God they started up again and have been fine ever since. I also have 2 cousins who are on full dialysis awaiting transplant.

Having had 2 transplants already and still waiting for a third after 5 years, it's great you have offered to donate a kidney to your brother. My first was a kidney donated from my mum, that was over 25 years ago and she was only in hospital 2 weeks way back then. Only problem she had after was she became rather prone to back ache.
i've given just received my 50 gold award for giving blood people tend to forget the unsung heros who donate in a different way so com'on
save a life and give blood
Done it.
I went to the uktransplant website and clicked the obvious link.
I cant due to my heart condition......The medication I take and the fact I have been innoculated against hepititus(sp?)
