transplant recipient
New organ holder
A transplant recipient is a person who receives an organ, tissue, or cells from a donor through surgical transplantation.
The term appears in medical contexts discussing compatibility, rejection risk, and post-operative care: Transplant recipients must take immunosuppressive drugs for life.
The phrase distinguishes those who receive organs from those who donate them.
