Hi, I have a question, can you be a living donor if you have Nephrocalcinosis?

More than likely, you will be turned down from being a living donor with Nephrocalcinosis. That condition is closely associated with Medullary Sponge Kidney and kidney stone disease. They will not want to transplant an unhealthy kidney into a patient who already has kidney failure.
