Alliance for Paired Kidney Donation

The Alliance for Paired Kidney Donation is a program that matches kidney donors and recipients who are incompatible directly but can benefit from exchanging donors. For example, if Donor A can't donate to Recipient A but can donate to Recipient B, and Donor B can't donate to Recipient B but can donate to Recipient A, the program facilitates these exchanges to ensure both recipients receive compatible kidneys. This process increases the chances of a successful transplant and maximizes the use of available donor kidneys, ultimately helping more patients find compatible matches than through traditional pairings alone.
