donor-recipient pairing

Donor-recipient pairing is the process of matching a person in need of an organ transplant with a suitable donor. This involves analyzing factors like blood type, tissue compatibility, size, and health status to ensure the organ will function well and reduce rejection risks. Effective matching maximizes the chances of transplant success and long-term health for the recipient. It's a careful process that balances medical compatibility and urgency, often facilitated through organ donation registries and transplant centers.
