tissue compatibility
[/ˈtɪʃuː kəmˌpætəˈbɪləti/]
nounpl: tissue compatibilities
compatibilidade de tecidos
1. The degree to which transplanted tissue or organs can be accepted by a recipient's immune system without rejection
Tissue compatibility testing is essential before organ transplantation to prevent immune rejection.
O teste de compatibilidade de tecidos é essencial antes do transplante de órgão para prevenir a rejeição imunológica.
2. The biological similarity between donor and recipient tissues based on genetic markers such as HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) types
The surgery was successful because there was excellent tissue compatibility between donor and recipient.
A cirurgia foi bem-sucedida porque havia excelente compatibilidade de tecidos entre doador e receptor.
This is a specialized medical term used primarily in healthcare, transplantology, and immunology fields. In Brazil, organ transplantation is coordinated through ABTO (Associação Brasileira de Transplante de Órgãos), and tissue compatibility assessment is a critical part of the national transplant protocol. The term reflects the importance of immunological matching in modern surgical practice across both Brazil and the USA.
