Kidney Transplant Donor Criteria

kidney transplant donor criteria
Nowadays, the prevalence of chronic kidney disease are rising, along with the increasing prevalence of diabetes mellitus, hypertension, metabolic syndrome, and others. In stage 5 of chronic kidney disease, or called as terminal stage (end stage), the supportive therapy that can be done is usually hemodialysis. This therapy is not satisfactory because it does not treat the cause. Kidney transplantation is definitive therapy for those kind of patients. Everybody can become a donor, not always relatives, as long as they fulfill the kidney transplant donor criteria

According to USTransplant.org, there are generally kidney transplant donor criteria:
  • Age between 18-65 years old.
  • Physical examination:  ideal BMI (body mass index), no obesity
  • Medical history:
    • not smoking
    • no hypertension
    • no history of cancer, hepatitis, cardiovascular, and kidney problems
    • no history of diabetes
    • no history of certain regular medications
  • Blood type: in order to make a safe kidney transplant, the donor's blood type must be the same with the recipient's blood type, while Rhesus (Rh) factor is not necessary to be matched.
  • Tissue match: to know the compatibility between donor's tissue and recipient's tissue, doctors will perform a blood test based on histocompatibility antigens. To pass the kidney transplant donor criteria, perfect matching is not required but some matches are better than another. 
  • Psychological examination: no mental illness, ensure that the donors will be able to take care of themselves after donating their kidney.

  2. Please change you're mind now if you have any doubt about Herbs. I'm a living witness. I was cure of Herpes by a great powerful herbalist Dr. Dominic Elabe.it was after I got my worst breakdown on 12/2/2018, when I was diagnosed of Herpes Simplex Virus. I became worried and ashamed to show myself in the public. I tried so many antiviral treatment, to see if I could get ride of my health issues,but non could cure me,glory to God. My researchers on the Herpes remedy got me excited when I came across lots of testimonies on how there where cured of Herpes with Herbs by Dr. Dominic Elabe.......
    I did contacted the Dr, luckily for me it was his happy day. He had to take me to his hospitals to view the other patience of much critical conditions and of group pictures with testifying patients who had been cured. It was indeed a great day for me. I quickly requested for my cure cos I was convinced he could cure me as well. Not long he prepared the medicine for me and sent through the DHL delivery service. It was together with an herbal cream that burnt all the blisters on the affected parts. I followed the instructions given to me, and it works for me too. My Dr, just confirmed me Herpes negative. I'm so happy with my life now.Dr. Dominic Elabe is a good man and had been with his gift from birth.you need to contact him yourself for any health challenge @
