English term

matches

English to Spanish Medical Medical (general) trasplants
The whole sentence goes: "Once matches have been found, each transplant center involved performs crossmatches for the identified donors and recipients to see if they are compatible"

I´m not sure how to translate "matches": maybe "personas compatibles"? I really appreciate any help provided! Thanks in advance!

Discussion

Chema Nieto Castañón Oct 17, 2023:
El contexto más amplio resulta básico a la hora de plantear la traducción más ajustada. Por facilitar un diálogo más normal sobre el tema, permitidme pensar en voz alta sobre las opciones plausibles al caso.

En caso de que "match" se refiera no sólo a la compatibilidad de grupo sanguíneo sino que incluya otros determinantes, como tamaño o distancia donante-receptor, por ejemplo, la idea de "donante potencial" para traducir "match" podría resultar ajustada ("Una vez identificados potenciales donantes, se realizan pruebas cruzadas donante-receptor para confirmar su compatibilidad").

En caso de referirse específicamente a la compatibilidad de grupo sanguíneo, aún podría plantearse una opción de traducción más sucinta que habría que valorar en función del fraseo previo.

En cualquier caso, debe notarse que el concepto de "match" en este caso sin duda es mucho más específico que la idea genérica de "compatibilidad" y la traducción debe ser capaz de trasladar dicha especificidad -bien con el propio descriptor utilizado o bien como clara alusión al concepto específico ya introducido previamente en el texto.

donantes compatibles

Cambiaría un poco el formato:
¨Una vez identificados donantes compatibles, cada centro de transplante.... ¨

¨Matching¨here is a type of compatibility, the blood group.
There are different levels of compatibility and the ¨candidates¨are usually referred to as ¨potential donors¨.
I did overlook the use of the word ¨compatible¨in the sentence, but still believe ¨donantes¨ or ¨donantes posibles¨ would work for ¨matches¨.

Matching and Compatibility
You may have heard discussions about “matching” and kidney transplantation. There are actually three tests that are done to evaluate donors. They are blood type, crossmatch, and HLA testing. This blood test is the first step in the process of living donation and determines if you are compatible or a “match” to your recipient.
https://rb.gy/36snr
There are three main blood tests that will determine if a patient and a potential donor are a kidney match. They are blood typing, tissue typing and cross-matching.
The degree of similarity between the HLA genes of the donor and recipient is known as histocompatibility; the more genetically compatible the donor and the recipient, the more tolerant the recipient’s immune system should be of the graft. However, unless the donor and recipient are genetically identical (e.g. as in identical twins) there will always be some degree of rejection. As well as nonself HLA proteins, other surface proteins on the donor graft can also be identified as a foreign antigen and illicit an immune response.
https://www.immunology.org/policy-and-public-affairs/briefin...

Ante el tratamiento de un linfoma que requiera un trasplante alogénico se recomienda que el donante provenga de un registro con alta compatibilidad, antes que de un donante con relación familiar pero que tenga una menor compatibilidad (haploidéntico).

Una vez obtenido el tipaje HLA del donante y del receptor se puede definir el grado de compatibilidad HLA entre ambos. A mayor compatibilidad (número de identidades) menor riesgo de respuesta inmune del receptor contra el órgano

A crossmatch test is a test that determines the immunologic risk of a recipient with a potential donor by ensuring that there are no transplant-relevant circulating antibodies in the recipient directed against donor antigens.

disagree Jennifer Levey : This is illogical. How will your translation end, where the ST says ... to see if they are compatible?
1 hr
True, I would say instead ¨donantes potenciales¨ given they have a certain level of compatibility.
neutral Chema Nieto Castañón : Hola, Cecilia. Efectivamente, "donantes potenciales" sí tendría sentido aquí, aunque tal y como señalas aquí "matches" se refiere específicamente a grupos sanguíneos compatibles.

compatibilidad

Yo diría algo así como "cuando existe compatibilidad..."

neutral Chema Nieto Castañón : ¿"Cuando existe compatibilidad se hace X para ver si son compatibles"?. En el texto original, "matches" y "compatible" aluden a conceptos claramente diferenciables (aunque relacionados en el proceso de identificación de donantes compatibles).

English term (edited): match

coincidencia

'match' refers to the results of data searches that display records where certain data fields are equal (at least, to within any limits set by a search filter).

Those coincidencias are then compared to find donors and recipients who are compatible (from a medical viewpoint).

If the the quoted sentence from the ST simply says 'match', instead of giving a full explanation, it's most likely because the meaning of 'match' has already been explained in an earlier paragraph. The details don't need to be repeated in full.

compatibilidad de grupo sanguíneo

There are actually three tests that are done to evaluate donors. They are blood type, crossmatch, and HLA testing. This blood test is the first step in the process of living donation and determines if you are compatible or a “match” to your recipient.
https://health.ucdavis.edu/transplant/livingkidneydonation/m...


La compatibilidad de grupo sanguíneo ("match") es el primer paso; las pruebas cruzadas (crossmatching), el siguiente. En este caso parece estar indicándose que "una vez confirmada la compatibilidad de grupo sanguíneo, los centros de transplante involucrados realizarán pruebas cruzadas de donante y receptor para confirmar que [linfocitos y anticuerpos también] son compatibles".

Ver por ejemplo aquí:

Thanks. But it is not just "compatibilidad". It would not make sense in Spanish. You must convey the meaning of "matches" within the given context; compatibilidad de grupo sanguíneo.
neutral Jennifer Levey : You are extrapolating far beyond what the quoted ST extract actually says (there is no mention of 'blood groups').

Hi, Jennifer. The original text differentiates "matches" from "crossmatching" in the context of transplants. There is no extrapolation, really, but a coming to terms with the given context.
agree MollyRose : This make more sense. It doesn´t make sense for them to find compatibility in order to then find out if there is compatibility again, unless they´re referring to different steps in the process.

Thanks Molly. And yes; "once matches are found (...) [they] perform crossmatching (...) to see if they are compatible". "Matches", "crossmatching" and "compatible" are (necessarily) different concepts here.
