Expanding kidney paired donation through participation by compatible pairs.
In kidney paired donation (KPD), incompatible pairs exchange kidneys so that each recipient receives a compatible organ. This modality is underutilized partly because of the difficulty of finding a suitable match among incompatible pairs. Alternatively, recipients with compatible donors might enter KPD arrangements in order to be matched with a donor predicted to give greater allograft durabili...
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...
متن کاملProviding Better-Matched Donors for HLA Mismatched Compatible Pairs Through Kidney Paired Donation.
BACKGROUND Participation of compatible pairs (CP) in kidney paired donation (KPD) could be attractive to CPs who have a high degree of HLA mismatch, if the CP recipient will gain a better HLA match. Because KPD programs were not designed to help CP, it is important to define allocation metrics that enable CP to receive a better-matched kidney, without disadvantage to incompatible pairs (ICP). ...
متن کاملKidney paired donation.
Kidney paired donation (KPD) was first suggested in 1986, but it was not until 2000 when the first paired donation transplant was performed in the USA. In the past decade, KPD has become the fastest growing source of transplantable kidneys, overcoming the barrier faced by living donors deemed incompatible with their intended recipients. This review provides a basic overview of the concepts and ...
متن کاملA 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...
