Kidney stones (painful)
Some people may have only one kidney for several reasons, such as having a diseased or injured kidney removed, or donating a kidney to someone in a kidney transplant, or probably less likely might be that they were just born with only one.
The removal of a kidney is a large decision that could be caused by a variety of reasons. Some of these include a failing organ, or donating the organ to another patient.
The kidney stones must be removed as they are very painful, and cause serious harm to the body .
hi, a friend of mine currently has leukaemia and she is looking for doners of bone marrow. From what I understand from school and medical leaflets, it is slightly painful for a few days, much like how a vaccination may make your arm feel sore. But hey, you have to remember that the person you're donating to is in a lot more pain than you are.
Kidney Stones
Kidney infection. Painful urination, cloudy urine, pain around waistline, blood in urine. Definitely a kidney infection.
If a kidney is taken from a live donor it is much healthier and has a better chance of being accepted by the recipient's body than a kidney from a dead donor. For the donor, this does involve major surgery, so it's a bit of a disadvantage to the living donor.
