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.
Testing is the only way to know how your kidneys are doing. It is important for you to get checked for kidney disease if you have the key risk factors â diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, or a family history of kidney failure. Two tests are needed to check for kidney disease. 1. A blood test checks your GFR, which tells how well your kidneys are filtering. GFR stands for glomerular (glow-MAIR-you-lure) filtration rate. 2. A urine test checks for albumin in your urine. Albumin is a protein that can pass into the urine when the kidneys are damaged. It is also important to have your blood pressure checked. High blood pressure can be a sign of kidney disease. Keep your blood pressure at or below the target set by your health care provider.
