Surgery and Recovery. If you are approved for the donation after all of the tests are completed, the surgery will be scheduled. The surgery is usually scheduled four to six weeks in advance. Typically, a living kidney transplant donor spends two days in the hospital, and will have an additional four to six weeks of recovery time. Donors who are from out of town should plan on spending an extra week in town after they discharged from the hospital. During recovery, you will experience some pain and discomfort.
The men repeated the 3K time trial 3, 7, 14 and 28 days after donating. The researchers also measured the men's hemoglobin concentration on those occasions. Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. Three days after giving blood, the men were, on average, 5.4% slower than before giving blood. Performance remained compromised a week later, although not by as much. By the time trial 14 days after giving blood, the men ran as fast as they had pre-donation, even though hemoglobin levels remained 5.9 percent lower.
