Hi and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist and kidney transplant surgeon, i understand your anxiety.You've nothing to worry about effects of donating your kidney. Some people are born with one kidney and if its working normally, its fine. If one of two kidneys is damaged, and the others normal, nothing to worry. But, before donation, a comprehensive evaluation of yours will be done.That's done to confirm that you're a compatible and suitable donor. Wish you well. Chat Doctor.  Manga.
