Hi @luv2cusmile

My donors were sent small boxes which they took to their local lab for their blood draws and the boxes were then mailed in. They really could have been anywhere in the country.

Hi, I am new to Mayo Connect, so I hope I am posting this on a place where I can receive a response.
An acquaintance of mine needs a kidney, and I am a possible donor in a very preliminary way, as our blood types match. Can someone give me an idea of what further tests are required for a kidney donation, and especially, would I likely have to travel to Mayo Rochester- my nearest transplant center-for the tests? I am a self-employed dairy farmer in west central Wisconsin, so travel is difficult. I would be grateful for any input. Thanks!
