donor compatibility
Tissue type alignment
Donor compatibility is the degree to which a donor's biological material—blood, tissue, or organs—matches a recipient's body well enough to avoid rejection.
Compatibility testing examines factors like blood type and immune markers.
They ran tests to check donor compatibility before the transplant.
A close match reduces the risk of the recipient's immune system attacking the donated material.
