EDQM helping increase tissue donation thanks to a better understanding of post-mortem blood testing practices
“Tissue from one deceased donor may be transplanted into as many as 100 individuals, improving their quality of life and even saving their lives (e.g. in the treatment of catastrophic burns). However, the use of tissues of human origin can result in unintentional transmission of disease. Such events can be prevented by scrupulous evaluation of donors, including laboratory testing of each donor close to the time of donation. Ideally, this should be done using a blood sample obtained prior to the death of the donor; however, this is not always possible. The EDQM/Council of Europe, within the framework of a Grant Agreement with the European Commission, has led a project to better understand screening practices in Europe of blood samples obtained post-mortem“.
