• Excellent health per conventional pre-donor history (medical and psychosocial evaluation)

• Acceptable laboratory parameters (hematology in normal or near-normal range; liver function < 3 times the upper limit of normal and normal creatinine)
• Compatible ABO blood group
• Negative donor lymphocyte cross match
• No positive testing for active viral infection (Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, HIV)
• Donor ability to understand and provide informed consent
• Meets standard institutional criteria for both bone marrow or peripheral blood stem cell (PBSC) and kidney donation

Exclusion criteria
