In the German National Bone Marrow Donor Registry (ZKRD), search-relevant donor data is stored from all over Germany. This data is submitted to the ZKRD from around 30 individual German donor centers .
As soon as a search request is received by the ZKRD, the patient’s individual tissue characteristics are compared with available donor data. This means that the actual searching for (and finding of) suitable donors takes place in the ZKRD.
Within Germany, the ZKRD has access to the data of more than 4 million donors and is thus by far the largest registry is Europe; regarding the number of donors actually identified for transplants, it is one of the most productive registries worldwide.

Because search possibilities are not limited to Germany, the ZKRD can access additionally data of over 19 million donors worldwide. The organization also plays a leading role in relevant IT research and development. Fully automatic data exchange between registries in Europe and the rest of the world is thus largely an achievement of the work and dedication of the specialist team in Ulm.
The entire process of searching for a suitable donor is continually developed and refined to enable even faster and more accurate results.
For patients, donors and everyone else involved in this topic, the ZKRD is the competent partner for the whole of Germany.
