Reply #2: I don't see how this is possible [View All]

I donated a kidney to my sister 20 years ago. I was in the hospital for a solid week just being tested for everything under the sun before they would do the surgery--longer than I was actually in for the surgery itself. I don't see how anything could have gotten past the lab.

My other sister received a cadaver kidney. There was also a huge amount of testing done before the surgery, not only for compatibility, but for any type of disease/infection, etc. They have to, because donor recipients have to be on anti-rejection meds the rest of their lives, which also seriously compromises their immune systems.
