The donor
They can receive blood from AB, A and B blood group, and also O because O is the universal donor. Hence, they are called Universal Recipients.
Brain death must be present before organ transplantation can happen. The donor is kept on the ventilator while consent is obtained from next of kin, and also while the testing is completed on the donor for compatibility with the recipients.
Paul Pearsall wrote the book 'The heart's Code' which gives stories of recipients receiving donor heart memories
potential kidney recipients must undergo a comprehensive physical evaluation. In addition to the compatibility testing, radiological tests, urine tests, and a psychological evaluation will be performed.
Yes Thousands of people are the recipients of donor hearts today.
Based on the source of donated kidney, kidney transplant can be classified as deceased donor or living donor transplant. Answer: To the question of HOW a kidney transplant is done. The donor kidney will be extracted including part of the urinary tract and vein/arteries. The blood is extracted from the kidney and it is flushed clean. Then transported on ice to where the recipient is. The donor kidney is transplanted into the person in their lower abdomen. They join the veins/artery etc to the recipients, having disconnected them from the existing bad kidney. They do not take out the recipients bad kidneys (unless it has tumour) but leaves them there, as no point in performing unnecessary surgery.
what happens when blood type AB is mixed with blood type A or B?
No. The blood type is one factor considered in matching transplant donors and recipients in some transplants. Most types of transplant use another system of tissue typing.

In the UK the donor's hospital pays for everything connected with the donation process and the recipients hospital (if different) pays for all the costs involved with the recipient side of the transplant. Neither donor nor recipient pay for any of it.
