Crossmatch Testing â When a kidney is available, your blood and the blood of the donor kidney are tested. With a negative crossmatch, (no reaction) you are compatible with the donor. A positive crossmatch (reaction) the kidney will not work for you because it is incompatible.
Compatibility testing (also referred to as cross matching ) is done even if you have donated your own (autologous) blood. Check with your doctor about how much time to plan for your blood transfusion procedure. Each unit of blood usually transfuses over 1Â½ to 2 hours. Some transfusions are for 2-3 units.
