Can a kidney donor have pets after surgery?

Yes, it is safe for a kidney donor to keep pets after surgery. The kidney recipient should be slightly careful, due to the immunosuppressive drugs - this basically amounts to either getting someone else to clean up after the animal (I love this excuse), or wearing gloves to clean up after the animal. Also, through handwashing after petting/ before meals is advised. Keeping birds as pets is not advisable for anyone immunosuppressed, due to a particular bacteria found in the faeces of birds.
