kidney allocation

Kidney allocation is the process by which donated kidneys are matched to patients needing a transplant. Factors considered include blood type, tissue compatibility, medical urgency, time spent on the waiting list, and geographic proximity to ensure fair and efficient distribution. The goal is to give kidneys to those who will benefit most and to maximize the success of the transplant. A centralized system, often managed by organ transplant networks, helps coordinate this process according to established medical and ethical guidelines.
