Process of testing to see if your a match

Posted by Michael @michaelmeza, Aug 17, 2017

My friend has been going there and is in need of a kidney transplant. He is type o blood and I am also. Was wondering what the steps I should take to see if I am a match for him. Thanks

@michaelmeza, Hello, and welcome to Mayo Connect.

Here is the Mayo Connect Transplant Pages link. In these pages, there are materials for transplant recipients as well as living donors

You are a real special friend to ask for this information about living kidney donation.
Let me know if you have any questions.
