The giving and storing of blood, umbilical cord blood and organs from one person for use by another, including blood donation, cord blood banking and organ donation. An entry belongs here when its own source describes donating or banking material for transplant or transfusion. It excludes the transfusion procedures themselves. Each member is a renal and transfusion therapy entry that the atlas covers as a subject in its own right, placed here on what its cited article says it is and how it is used, never on its name alone.
