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.
Kidneys require additional testing to determine which recipient is the best match for the donated organ. A Gift of Life preservationist takes tissue and blood samples from the donor to a lab for further testing. Tissue typing such as this can take up to eight to 12 hours. For hearts and livers, the recipients have already been identified by the time the organ recovery takes place. Once recipients are identified, they are asked to arrive at the hospital and prepare for transplantation. Organs Are Transplanted. Transplants are performed.
