Hi Deedee. Have you contacted your nearest transplant clinic? Is your husband on the transplant wait list? That would be a good place to start. If you would like to donate to him, have you been tested? I received a kidney 5 years ago, and my donor is doing very well. All the people I know who have donated a kidney are healthy. that's not to say no living donors face health issues because they donated, I just know of any. What I hear over and over is that living donors say it's one of the best things they've ever done. The transplant center also makes sure any potential living donor goes through a very comprehensive health test before they would be allowed to donate a kidney.
