donor matching
Finding compatible givers
Donor matching is the process of pairing organ, tissue, or blood donors with compatible recipients.
Medical teams evaluate factors like blood type, tissue antigens, and antibody profiles to minimize rejection risk: She waited three years before donor matching found her a kidney.
The term also applies to matching charitable donors with causes or organizations that align with their interests.
