Yes. Many people donate a kidney to friends or family members that have kidney failure. The donor then has one kidney and probably the recipient has one functioning kidney.
no
Yes, you can! If, for example your bother has terminal kidney failure, you can donate one of your kidney's to him if your tissue types match. If your tissue type won't match you can even donate a kidney, by cross-linking yours with a receiver which matches. Not only kidney's, but also parts of the liver and I think also skin can be donated alive. the other organ which can b donated while alive r lung,pancrease,bone marrow and intestine
You can donate your blood, but most places do not pay for it. If you want to make money, you will want to donate your plasma. They take part of your blood and put another part of your blood back in your arm. If you donate blood, you can only do this every 56 days. If you donate plasma, you can make money twice a week.
I was told today at the Canadian Blood Service (after taking time off work to donate because O- was in demand) that I was ineligible to donate within 24 hours of taking quetiapine (seroquel). Their reasoning was that the loss of blood may decrease the effectiveness of the drug, even though I only take it to sleep and it was 18 hours since my last dose, 6 hours before my next one. Disappointing.
Yes. A person with blood group antibody B can not donate blood to another person with group A because it will agglutinates as they blood group A can only be donated to to a person with blood group A. Even though you donate whole blood, all of it is not given unless you both have the exact blood type. A person with A type (who has B antibodies in their plasma) will only donate their cells. No antibodies will be given. So AB can be given A but without the plasma which has the antibodies.
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.
Yes, O positive can donate red blood cells to AB negative. O positive is a universal donor for red blood cells, meaning it can be transfused to individuals with any blood type. However, O positive donors are not universal plasma donors for AB negative recipients.
Only a physician would be able to tell you this after very extensive bloodwork.
The remaining kidney actually picks up a lot of the workload of the removed kidney. That doesn't mean all of it, but it does compensate for it, which is why having only one kidney can take years off of your life, as the remaining kidney is having to work so much harder.
YOU CAN ONLY DONATE ORGANS THAT YOU DON'T NEED, OR CAN LIVE WITH OUT. YOU CAN'T DONANTE A HEART AND STILL LIVE. SINCE YOU HAVE TWO KIDNEYS, YOU CAN DONATE A KIDNEY AND STILL LIVE WITH JUST ONE. YOUR BODY MIGHT NOT FUNCTION AS WELL, BUT IT WILL STILL FUNCTION.
