Can A Kidney Be Donated By The Parent To The Child After Losing A Kidney Due To Grade 5 Reflux?
My son has been throwing up and feeling nauseous for a while. When he was 4 he had grade 5 reflux and because of that has only 1 kidney. He does have another small one however it only functions 5 to 7% because it was necrotic for 4 years till we found that he had grade 5 reflux. when he was little (under 4) he would throw up all the time when he ate too much. it seems to get better that he got older but now I am worried. Can I give him one of my kidney s? I am 58 1/2 and I figure he needs it more than I do?

Hi,
Please note that any healthy person can donate kidney provided there is proper cross matching. You should consult a transplant surgeon and he will advise necessary tests.
