3rd Class Medical after kidney donation.

[Anonimous donor]

Guys,
Let me know if you know something about this topic. I recently donated a kidney to a relative. Can I get a 3rd class medical?
Thanks in advance

30 days downtime and a report from a nephrologist that the remaining kidney is functioning adequately.

I hope so. More than a few of us have sold a kidney to pay for flight training, lol.

But seriously, good luck, it should not be a problem provided there were no complications.

I’m going through the approval process to give one of mine to my daughter. I currently hold a 2nd class. Haven’t talked to an AME yet

Should be a yawn. Operative note, discharge summary, and a measure 90 days or more after donation of normal kidney function (a blood test).
