I am currently at end stage renal failure and am down to 15% efficiency.When a kidney is removed the other doesn't enlarge but simply(or amazingly) increases it's work load and typically you will go from 100% to about 80%.
My last comp was a team comp with Ken Nowicki 2 years ago,we had a hell of a truck to pull,viking press,car deadlift etc,we came a half point off winning and i was sitting at 24% kidney function at the time,so i have every confidence in telling you that once you've healed from the surgery nothing will stop you from continuing to grow stronger.
I still train 3 days per week albeit at a much reduced rate,i have to get by on about 120 grams of protein as i have to give my body less work to do.
My mother also had a successful kidney transplant which lasted many years and vastly improved the quality of her life.
I think what you are doing for your mother is wonderful and i wish you both a speedy full recovery.

LesWiltshire said:Hey Supertraining, proud of you mate, good luck to you both.
Looked after my Dad through kidney failure, dialysis three times a week etc, etc.
Know how demanding it can be, and one of the charities I now support is Kidney Research UK. You'll be back training in no time, and so might your Mum!!

for the first week or two i wouldn't do much of anything...
make sure youre eating loads! your body will need a lot of calories and protein esp. to repair those muscles and skin

brownbear said:
i'm sorry to hear about your mum, the stress and pain associated with end stage renal disease is not nice and wouldn't wish it on anyone
After giving a kidney, i wouldn't expect recovery time to be too long as you won't need immunosuppression unlike the receipient. It will be as long as it takes the muscles in the abdominal wall that have been cut through to recover, something like 4-6 weeks generally (more if you smoke or are diabetic).

Stetec said:I'm in a similar position with my mum mate, except in our case, liver. A genetic illness. I was all set to be in a position to donate only to find out that I have an earlier stage of the same illness. I wish you and your mum all the best and hope all goes well, you can live happily without any problems with one kidney. It enlarges to compensate.

Sorry, I'm not playing anymore. I don't honestly believe anyone is so stupid as to think I was making fun or being offensive towards Pinda Singh.
Oh and btw, I have never achieved anything ever in any sport
