The amount of time an organ spends being preserved after recovery from the donor.
Donor Management
The process and critical pathways use to medically care for donors in order to keep their

Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)

organs.
Human Leukocyte Antigen (HLA)
Molecules found on all nucleated cells in the body that help the immune system to
recognize whether or not a cell is foreign to the body. These antigens are inherited from
one's parents. Human leukocyte antigens are used to determine the compatibility of
