Question: My sister is interested in donating a kidney … but …
My sister is interested in donating a kidney. We have a family history of VWD. My father had it and I have it. She has never had any complications from surgery so for. Can she be a carrier of this and could it effect the person receiving her kidney. I have been tested but she was not.
hi..
even if she doesnt have any symptoms, she may be a potent dormant carrier . get her checked and confirm whether she has VWD or not. If she doesnt have, she can freely donate. Biut if she has, then she may also transmit it to the recepient
thanks
