What happens after a donor is identified as a match?
A local donor center will contact the donor. If still interested, the donor will be asked to attend an information session to learn about the donation procedures. Further blood tests will also be completed. If these tests indicate that the donor is a good match for the patient, the donor will receive a physical examination to ensure that donating is safe for the donor and the patient. The patient’s doctor will determine which donation procedure will be completed.
