Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist and transplant surgeon,i can understand your anxiety.
Your questions are mainly in the interest of donor and recipient.
First of all,understand that a donor is not a patient.
At no cost,will a doctor harm a healthy person,volunteering to donate organ.
1. Maximum caution will be taken, to keep a donor healthy, after surgery.
2. If creatinine level is low in a potential donor,that person will never be considered for organ donation,as his/ her health will be compromised.
Hope your doubts are cleared.you can send me a direct question,to me.
