Hi,Donors needs to be screened for multiple infections such as HIV ,HBsAg,HCV,VDRL
Other tests depends upon examination of donor to rule out any systemic illnesses such as Diabetes,thyroid problems.
If i would have been your treating Doctor. Would like to do all basic tests of Donor to rule out sexualy transmitted diseases ,basic routine tests such as TSH , complete blood count,Liver and Kidney function test,Clinical examination to rule out heart problem,respiratory problem ,blood pressure measurement.
Other part is do sonogram to check ovarian volume and antral follicles.
It is preferable to get AMH anti mullerian hormone test done
