"The degree of donor match is no longer a factor in the selection of
potential donors. The statistics have shown that there is no difference in
success of transplant between a donor that is a 0 donor match thru a 5 donor
match. The only difference is a 1% better success rate on a 6 of 6 match,
which is difficult to find. The only thing that we are interested in is the
ABO blood group of the donor and if Amy has a positive crossmatch with that
particular donor."
Well. I know I have the blood match, so it looks like the crossmatch is the only thing left. If I only knew what the hell that meant. I am gonna have to do me some research!
