To make sure the kidney is suitable for you and that you are fit for surgery, you will need some tests, such as:
Blood tests
Scans

You may also need to fast (not eat or drink) while waiting for the results.
We understand that this waiting period can feel uncertain or worrying. Please be assured that our transplant coordinators and doctors will do their best to keep you informed and updated while we complete the necessary checks on both you and the donor kidney.
