The most important criteria is the blood groups should be compatible between the donor and the recipient. In situations where recipient was been thru' a blood transfusion, the Transplant evaluation team may conduct more tests as it is possible there are additional characteristics induced by the blood transfusion.

He can still get a kidney. Let your transplant docs decide what the best course is for him. This is all overwhelming at first, but one step at a time. Blessings to you.
