A comparison of populations served by kidney paired donation and list paired donation.
Options for utilizing live donor kidneys from those who are blood type incompatible or crossmatch positive with their intended recipients include kidney paired donation (KPD), list paired donation (LPD) and desensitization. KPD provides live donor kidneys for both recipients but requires a match to another incompatible pair, while LPD utilizes the deceased donor pool but is restricted by ethica...

Increased access to kidney transplantation is a shared goal that can be achieved through kidney paired donation (KPD). A single, national system of KPD a...
متن کاملPaired Kidney Donation and Listed Exchange
Deceased-donor and live-donor kidneys are the two sources for transplantation, and these sources are utilized via two different programs. One of these programs, a paired kidney donation (PKD), involves two donor-patient pairs, for each of whom transplantation from donor to intended recipient is not possible due to medical incompatibilities, but such that the patient in each couple could receive...
متن کاملKidney paired donation with compatible pairs.
We read with great interest the article Gentry et al. (1) which explores the impact of expanding kidney paired donation (KPD) through participation by compatible pairs. In their abstract they argue that this is a new paradigm of KPD and in their conclusion they indicate that the inclusion of recipients with compatible donors will greatly increase the number of incompatible pairs matched through...
