Matching Donors and Recipients

Matching donors and recipients involves pairing donors’ organs or tissues with compatible recipients based on factors like blood type, tissue compatibility, and medical urgency. This process ensures that the donated organ has the best chance to function effectively and reduce the risk of rejection. Advanced databases and testing help identify the most suitable matches quickly, optimizing outcomes. Essentially, it's about finding the right "fit" to save or improve the recipient’s health while ensuring donor circumstances are respected.
