kidney paired donation

Kidney paired donation is a process that helps people needing a transplant when their intended donor isn’t a suitable match. Instead of one mismatched donor giving to their recipient, two or more donor-recipient pairs swap kidneys with other pairs so everyone gets a compatible organ. For example, if Donor A can’t donate directly to Recipient A but can donate to Recipient B, and Donor B can donate to Recipient A, both recipients receive compatible kidneys. This collaborative process increases the chances of successful transplants, expands options, and improves outcomes for patients in need.
