 A suitable donor is someone that is healthy enough to
donate. A donor is compatible when all the tests are finalized and a suitable donor is able to donate
to their intended recipient.

There must be blood type compatibility,the tissue typing well defined and hopefully well matched and all cross match studies are negative.

You need to undergo testing to see if you are a compatible donor.
