Donor Information

Considering to be a kidney donor is no small decision. There is so much to think about and it’s not a fast process. BUT the reward is more than you can imagine. Let’s talk through the process.

Getting tested is fairly easy. If you’ve identified a person that you would like to see if you’re a match to donate to, you can go to their transplant center’s website or in-person clinic and fill out the donor form. Now, each center has different (sometime significantly) requirements/standards that they use to determine if you would be eligible to donate. After asking some questions about your health, family history and reason for donating, they’ll then ask you to take either a blood test or oral swab to determine if you’re a match or not.
