Age-based preferences in paired kidney exchange
We consider a model of Paired Kidney Exchange (PKE) with feasibility con-straints on the number of patient-donor pairs involved in exchanges. Patients’preferences are restricted so that patients prefer kidneys from compatible youngerdonors to kidneys from older donors. In this framework, patients with compati-ble donors may enroll on PKE programs to receive an organ with higher ...
متن کاملTransplant quality and patients' preferences in paired kidney exchange
Paired Kidney Exchange programs (PKEs) solve incompatibility problems of donor-patient pairs in living donor kidney transplantation by arranging exchanges of donors among several pairs. Further efficiency gains may emerge if PKEs consider the quality of the matches between patients and donors. Limitations on the number of simultaneous required operations imply that every efficient PKE introduce...
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 کاملPaired Exchange: A New Innovation in Live Donor Kidney Transplantation
Barriers to traditional living-donor kidney transplantation include ABO incompatibility and positive cross-match. Paired exchange kidney transplantation (PEKT) is a viable an increasingly popular method to increase live donation. We discuss the pros and cons as well as the various ways to achieve PEKT along with a review of existing literature. To achieve the full potential of PEKT, the transpl...
متن کاملPaired exchange programmes can expand the live kidney donor pool.
BACKGROUND Kidney paired donation (KPD) is an exchange of organs between two live donors, who are otherwise ABO incompatible or cross-match positive, and their intended recipients. The outcome is the generation of compatible transplants conferring an improvement in quality of life and longevity. METHODS Medline was searched for articles on KPD using a combination of keywords. Publications foc...
