Hi @rosemarya 😊
Yes, I LOVE to know everything about every test...what the test is looking for, and how I am doing on each test. Actually, as a little girl I really wanted to be a nurse and I am still extremely interested in everything medical. I love it! I find the whole medical field fascinating and awe inspiring. It's the one field that literally saves lives. Now that I am a transplant patient I am learning about all kinds of new tests and I love it! I am scheduled to see my local nephrologist in a couple of weeks. I am going to ask him to write down the tests he is interested in. I will be at Mayo in August for my annual so this will work perfectly. My understanding is the tests are called HLA tissue testing, SAB and DSA but I can not locate any of those test names in my patient portal. Do you see any of those in your patient portal lab work results for your annual visit labs? I am pretty sure these are done during our annual visit. Maybe I am not looking in the right place on the portal., but I can't find mine. Thank you for everything Rosemary ❤

@hello1234, You are amazing!! No wonder you have so many wonderful questions that we all benefit from.
You mentioned tissue testing, and that makes me wonder if you will find information with your kidney biopsy results. You should have had one or two already. Have you looked thru your past history or visit summaries in the portal? There should also be a summary of your transplant surgery.
Happy reading!
