Detailed explanation-1: -How do I know if my kidney is a match for the recipient? The transplant team will check your blood type as well as the recipient blood type to see if they are compatible. A unique blood test also needs to be done which is called “crossmatch”.
Detailed explanation-2: -The best donor is an identical twin, as the tissue type is identical. Unfortunately, most people do not have an identical twin waiting to give them a kidney! However, a kidney from another relative/friend may be suitable.
