Donor Selection in Kidney Transplantation

Donor selection in kidney transplantation involves choosing suitable donors to ensure the recipient's health and success of the transplant. Ideal living donors often share similar blood types and have compatible tissue types, reducing the risk of rejection. Deceased donors are matched based on criteria like age, kidney function, and medical history. Screening tests are done to ensure the donor's health and to check for diseases. Ultimately, the goal is to find a kidney that will support the recipient's body, improve their health, and enhance their quality of life.
