Kidney Donation medical issues

Hi Guys,
I'm considering donating one of my kidneys to a close family member who needs one. Would there be any issues with my Australian Class 1 medical?
Thanks

I donated one of mine to my son last year and got my UK medical back three months later, all that was required was a blood test and a letter from the surgeon explaining what had been done.
Good luck with what you are about to do, it stings a bit for a couple of weeks but it is more than worth it.
