Mandatory Infectious Disease Testing
a. HIV antibody (anti-HIV) donor screening test or HIV antigen/antibody (Ag/Ab) combination test
b. Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg)
c. Hepatitis B core antibody (anti-HBc)
d. Hepatitis C antibody donor screening test (anti-HCV)
e. Hepatitis C ribonucleic acid (RNA) by donor screening or diagnostic nucleic acid test (NAT)

When would Transplant center is requesting pre-surgical nodes for tissue typing
your donor received a lot of blood products and steroid treatments
If 6 antigen mismatches are identified on your donor it means?
less likely chance of rejection; less likely chance of finding a recipient; Allocation will occur to national patients last
Total blood volume calc
donor’s weight in Kg divided by 0.015.
Round to the nearest tenth.
