The examination of human leukocyte antigens (HLA) in a patient. Tissue typing is done for all donors and recipients in kidney transplantation to help match the donor and recipient. Transplant List - After evaluation a patient is added to the national transplant list by the transplant centre. When a donor organ becomes available, the computer generates a list of potential recipients based on factors identified within the organ allocation schemes.
A blood test that helps evaluate how closely the tissues of the donor match those of the recipient.
A test done on the recipient and the potential donor to check compatibility.
a blood test performed prior to transplantation to determine the histocompatibility of the potential donor and recipient
Refers to matching cells of individuals who are to undergo transplantation with their potential donors. The success of the transplant may be related to the closeness of the tissue match.
a series of diagnostic tests before an organ transplant to determine whether the tissues of a donor and recipient are compatible
blood test to identify specific antigens considered for transplant (HLA antigens)
A blood test used to evaluate the compatability of an organ donor's tissue with the tissue of a potential recipient.
The process of identifying the human lymphocyte antigens in an individual. Tissue typing is done for all potential kidney donors and recipients to ensure the closest possible matching of antigens.
A blood test that determines a potential transplant recipient's compatibility with a donor; tissue typing is performed mostly to match donors with recipients of kidney and bone marrow transplants. Jump to Top
The tests used to determine the compatibility of tissues used in grafts and transplants.
Matching the blood cells of potential transplant recipients with donors.
A blood test to determine the compatibility of a donor's and recipient's antigens.
A blood test done to evaluate the closeness of tissue match between organ donor and recipient (done before transplant).
Tissue typing is done prior to transplantation to make sure that there is a good match between the donor and the recipient. If the match is not good, organ rejection is more likely. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
See histocompatibility testing.
Laboratory test to determine the genetic makeup of a person. Used to ensure compatibility of a kidney before transplant.
Another term for HLA-typing.
A blood test (performed prior to transplantation) to evaluate the closeness of tissue match between donor's organ and recipient's HLA antigens.
A blood test determines genetic makeup by testing the white blood cells for what is known as "human leukocyte antigens" or HLA.
