Kidney Paired Donation

Kidney Paired Donation increases the ability of potential kidney transplant recipients to receive a kidney from a living donor. Many individuals have willing kidney donors only to discover that they are incompatible by blood type or cross matching. Kidney Paired Donation involves the matching and exchange of kidneys between donor/recipient pairs that are compatible with each other.

How does Kidney Paired Donation work?

In the first pair, Recipient 1 is not compatible with Donor 1, and in the second pair, Recipient 2 is not compatible with Donor 2. However, Donor 1 is compatible with Recipient 2 and Donor 2 is compatible with Recipient 1.
