Transplant compatability.

My partner has been examined as a possible donor... she got her results today blood type A tissue type 010, I am blood type O-, would that totally preclude her for being a donor to me?

Many thanks ❤️

You should ask the transplant bank, or your Nephrologist. The tissue type is more important than the blood or RH factor. There is another community for organ donation on the right of this page under topics. Best of luck, I hope things work out for you.

You can check also if you're transplant center has in place a crossover program Basically even your partner is not matching you they look for another living donor couple which are cross matching exchanging organ.

Suppose you are not matching your partner and another couple not matching in between them but matching with you. You can than cross exchanging organs: your donor will be transplanted to him and his donor to you. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/150...
