Yes, blood group is important for kidney transplantion although other options are blood group incompatiable or swap kidney transplant. DTPA renal scan should be do to find out the differential kidney function of donor kidneys. There is complete list for the evaluation for kidney donor, consult your Nephrologist for advice or share your details so that I can advice appropriately.
