Question

Why is tissue matching important for organ transplants?

Answer 1

Answer:

Tissue typing for transplantation refers to determination of the HLA genotypes of both the potential donor (s) and the recipient. Finding the best donor for a kidney transplant generally means finding a six-antigen match by looking at each of the two alleles at HLA-A,-B, and -DR.

Answer 2

The tissue typing is a blood test that matches the number of antigens on the surface of recipients and donor blood surface.  That is why tissue typing is done to prevent rejection after transplantation.Tissue typing for transplantation refers to determination of the HLA genotypes of both the potential donor (s) and the recipient. Finding the best donor for a kidney transplant generally means finding a six-antigen match by looking at each of the two alleles at HLA-A,-B, and -DR.
