What is this test?

This is a clinical history or registry-status entry rather than a blood, urine, or imaging test. It identifies kidney transplant center patients who have received at least one kidney transplant.

Why might I need this test?

It may be used to confirm transplant history when planning care, reviewing medications, interpreting laboratory results, or assessing long-term follow-up needs.

How is the test performed?

The information is usually confirmed by reviewing kidney transplant center records, a transplant registry, or the patient's medical history. It may be updated from records submitted by the transplant program.

How do I prepare for the test?

No fasting or special preparation is required. Having previous transplant records, discharge summaries, or a transplant identification number available may help confirm your history.

Reference range

Adult: 10-40 U/LN/A

Specimen: serum

No special preparation required. Avoid fatty meals before the test if possible.

Clinical interpretation

How abnormal results are interpreted and what conditions they suggest.

A recorded transplant history helps clinicians account for transplanted-kidney function, transplant-specific medications, and the need for ongoing monitoring. It may also influence how common laboratory results are interpreted. The entry confirms prior transplantation but does not by itself show whether the transplant is currently functioning well.

Frequently asked questions

Does this test show whether my transplanted kidney is working?
No. It only identifies a history of at least one kidney transplant. Kidney function is generally assessed with blood tests such as creatinine and eGFR, along with other clinical findings.
Will I need to provide a blood or urine sample?
No sample is normally required for this status entry. It is usually determined from transplant-center, registry, or medical-record review.
What if my transplant history is not listed?
Ask your transplant center or health care provider to verify the record and submit an update if needed. Bring any available transplant letter, identification card, or discharge paperwork to your appointment.
