Does Mayo have a support group for those who donated kidneys and are now experiencing some side effects?
@hergiew, I am not familiar with the availability of specific support group for donor. I am a volunteer mentor on Connect and I have located a couple of discussions in the Transplant Discussion Group that I want to share with you.
I invite you to post your question in one of these discussions where it can be seen by kidney donors.
-Donating my kidney: Any tips? What do you wish you'd known?
