Kidney 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 کاملExpanding 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 کاملClinical results from transplanting incompatible live kidney donor/recipient pairs using kidney paired donation.
CONTEXT First proposed 2 decades ago, live kidney paired donation (KPD) was considered a promising new approach to addressing the shortage of organs for transplantation. Ethical, administrative, and logistical barriers initially proved formidable and prevented the implementation of KPD programs in the United States. OBJECTIVE To determine the feasibility and effectiveness of KPD for the manag...
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 کاملIncreasing access to kidney transplantation for sensitized recipient through three-way kidney paired donation with desensitization: The first Indian report
The combination of kidney paired donation (KPD) with desensitization represents a promising method of increasing the rate of living donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) in immunologically challenging patients. Patients who are difficult to match and desensitize due to strong donor specific antibody are may be transplanted by a combination of desensitization and KPD protocol with more immunologic...
