Your caregiver will examine you and ask about your health history. Caregivers will take a sample of your blood to check your blood type and count your blood cells. You may need to have an x-ray, electrocardiogram (ECG), or ultrasound. These tests show caregivers if you are healthy enough to donate your stem cells. If you are female, caregivers may take a sample of your blood or urine to check if you are pregnant.
