Here is an update on my non-directed kidney donor process. I completed the testing last Friday -except for an appointment with the psychologist this morning. Everyone I met was so wonderful and caring. All of my test results are great except for one thing. The CT angiogram of my kidneys show I have two arteries to each kidney which is good ( I found out from the surgeon you can have one to up to four arteries to each). The not good news is the upper. larger arteries both have mild FMD which is fibromuscular dysplasia. This means a small segment of each one has some "beading" which looks like a beaded necklace. The surgeon said it isn't a problem from his standpoint but others on the team may be more conservative. The nephrologist met with me next and at first wasn't very positive. He was concerned it may cause harm to me later ( hypertension or kidney disease) if I only have one kidney. After he talked with the radiologist he changed his mind and said it was "minor" and since I'm in my 50's with normal blood pressure he doesn't think it will be a problem. He said the team will have to review everything and decide. SO the team meets tomorrow (I don't know what time). The coordinator will call me after they meet to let me know. I REALLY want to do this. I can't explain why but it is really important to me. Please pray that everything will be ok and I will be approved! Thank you!
