Kidney donor

A kidney donor is a person who voluntarily gives one of their kidneys to someone in need, often due to kidney disease or failure. This can happen through living donation, where a healthy individual donates a kidney while they are still alive, or through deceased donation after the donor has passed away. The transplant helps the recipient regain kidney function and improve their quality of life. Donors are thoroughly evaluated to ensure their health and safety before donation, and it is generally safe, with many living donors leading normal lives afterward.
