How do you determine a kidney match ? Is it by blood type ?

no I dont think its just blood type...even siblings with the same blood type dont always match perfectly..

I think it has to do with antigens but i dunno

Blood type, then antibodies.

The cool thing with living donors is they can form chains. Say Diane wants to give her brother Andy a kidney, but Diane and Andy aren't matches. But Diane is a match for Kelly. Kelly's living donor Bob isn't a match for Kelly, but he is for Dave. Dave's living donor isn't a match for Dave, but he is for Andy. Three-way swap.

Coincidentally, UAB currently holds the world record for these types of chains, something like 30+ people involved that started by one woman wanting to donate a kidney.

Good God, I had no idea. Hang in there, FMB. All will work itself out in no time.

I'm going to go give Dick Tracy another shot just for you.
