If your blood type is O+ or O- you can start the evaluation process.

 

The kidney donation evaluation process

 

After completing the initial screening process, a physician from the kidney transplant team will discuss the donation process with the potential donor at length before any procedures are planned or performed. In addition to the information provided by members of our transplant team, potential donors also receive educational materials and access to support resources.

 

The evaluation process for a potential donor may take several months to complete. Complete health evaluations including blood work, imaging, emotional and behavioral evaluations require potential donors to schedule several examinations and appointments.

 

In especially urgent cases, when a potential donor is highly motivated, these exams may be scheduled in close succession. In rare cases, the evaluation regimen timeline may be condensed into as few as four to six weeks, depending on the donor’s health.
