I understand that kidney donation risks are not well-understood, but ignorance permeates virtually every topic here.
Off the top of my head, I'd say that salmonella from lettuce or eating out would be one of the greatest risks to a kidney donor, though for women pregnancy might be high-risk with one kidney. An MRI might also be a concern, because of the risk of allergies to dyes affecting kidneys and the liver.
