i(17) want to donate a kidney to my aunt(around 45) whom i consider as mother.is it possible to do it? give details regarding the time it takes and money required for operation.i do not care what happens to me.but give the details about my health with one kidney.
Since you are 17 you have to go through legal stuff like parents permission until you turn 18 which is legal age. You can live a normal life with only one kidney and not even realize it. I have had 3 kidney transplants two from my parents. You would have to go through lost of blood test to even see if you're a match. If you are a match you hopefully have good insurance cause its very expensive and almost impossible to pay out of pocket. You as the door would probably be in the hospital a day or two and your aunt about a week if all goes well.
