Medical work-up of the live donor

• The accumulated experience in live donor uterus transplantation is that the qualities of the uterus and the vasculature of the graft are critical factor for successful outcome of the transplantation procedure. Thus, the medical screening procedure to exclude possible cases with suboptimal donor organs is important for high success rate, in terms of transplantations that result in live births. This chapter reviews the current knowledge about several factors that have to be taken into account in screening for inclusion/exclusion of potential live donors. These factors include age, lifestyle factors, obstetric history, laboratory tests, cardiovascular examination, gynaecological examination and imaging modalities. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.
