Kidney Transplant
• Cross Match: Before any transplant, some of the recipient's blood and some of the donor’s cells are mixed together to see if the recipient's blood will damage or kill the donor’s cells.
• A positive cross match test means that the donor (whether live or deceased) is not compatible with the recipient, and therefore cannot donate a kidney.

• Long-term success is good for people of all ages.
