It is completely natural to feel anxious and have second thoughts when thinking about such a major surgery. Take your time, talk to families of people who have donated, and don't rush yourself into any decision until you are mentally ready.

As a potential donor, you will need to maintain excellent kidney health beforehand. Eating a low-sodium, balanced vegetarian diet and staying well-hydrated is crucial to ensure your kidneys are functioning perfectly for the tests.
