Hello,Im going to be donating a kidney to a friend soon, and Im in the final stages of medical evaluations and what-not to see if our plumbing is a match. Im wondering if theres a particular type of diet I could get into until the procedure that would be especially good for my kidneys. I want them in squeaky clean, tip-top shape for the operation. any suggestions?thank you for your time. Matt
Hello Matt and welcome to Chat Doctor. As a Urologist and kidney transplant surgeon, i can understand your anxiety. First, i must congratulate you for taking this noble decision. Before a kidney transplant surgery, there are 3 tests, which must be matching :1. Blood group match. 2. PRA match and 3. Tissue match or HLA match. Then the blood tests, to determine medical fitness, along with chest X-ray ECG, and CT angiography with ICU, will be done, to know kidney status. Donors just need to have a healthy, balanced diet.
