Kidney disease - Bone marrow and peripheral blood stem cell
Scenarios
Acute nephritis
- Obligatory
-
Must not donate if:
Less than 12 months since recovery.
- Discretionary
-
All tissues:
- Self-limiting renal disease (e.g. single attacks of glomerulonephritis, pyelitis) from which recovery has been complete, do not necessarily disqualify the donor.
- If there is doubt about the diagnosis, refer to a Designated Clinical Support Officer.
- Additional information
-
If the donor is well and has not received treatment to suppress the condition in the last 12 months, it is unlikely that their donation will pose a risk to the recipient.
Chronic nephritis
- Obligatory
-
Must not donate.
- Reason for change:
- To align the guidance with that for blood donors, the deferral period following an attack of 'Acute Nephritis' has been reduced from five years to 12 months.
