Summary Introduction
Case summary:
Mr. Ayers and his family confirmed their status to be an organ donor. The organ recovery coordinator analyzed his suitability as the organ donor through tissue typing and the results were then entered into the UNOS database.
Characters in the case:
Mr. Ayers, a 35-year-old man, 27-year-old woman, and coordinator.
Adequate information:
Tissue typing was performed and the results were entered into the UNOS database. The results revealed that two potential recipients can be given his kidney, one was the 35-year-old man and the other was a 27-year-old woman.
To determine:
The type of graft represented by the two kidneys that Mr. A has donated.
