kidney donors

A kidney donor is someone who voluntarily gives one of their healthy kidneys to a person with kidney failure, helping them survive and improve their quality of life. Since a person has two kidneys, donating one typically does not harm their health. Donors can be living, often a family member or friend, or deceased, with their organs donated after death. The decision involves thorough medical evaluations to ensure safety for both donor and recipient. Kidney donation is a generous act that can save or significantly extend a recipient's life.
