What is a blood luminosity test? I am 58 yrs old, on peritoneal dialysis for polycystic kidney disease. My brother is willing to donate a kidney for me & we have had all tests done but now they have asked for this one. I did have a Clarks lecel3 melanoma removed from my upper back apprx 3 years ago. Thank you.
It may be Lupine test which is done before transplantation of kidney. Basically this test will try to identify whether there are any anti HLA antibodies are present in the recipients blood or not. If such antibodies are present, then there will be increase chance of rejection(failure of transplant). Apart from that it should be noted that as you are suffering from policies tic kidney disease, your brother should be evaluated to rule out same disease before donation.
