For testing they usually do blood testing and a physical testing.

According to this site http://www.umm.edu/transplant/kidney/qanda.htm

"A series of laboratory and X-ray tests, as well as an EKG, will be completed to screen for kidney function, liver function, hepatitis, heart disease, lung disease and past exposure to viral illness. Urine testing will also be done to make sure that your kidneys function normally. In addition, results from your routine annual health maintenance tests (e.g., pap smear, mammogram, colonoscopy, etc), as well as any necessary medical clearance for pre-existing conditions, will need to be submitted to the living donor team for review. Other tests may be necessary depending on the results of these studies."

Finding a good match is not always easy, it usually takes a few years. Watch the video.
