National Kidney Registry

The National Kidney Registry (NKR) is an organization that helps improve access to kidney transplants through a matching and exchange program. It connects patients who need a transplant with donors, including those who may not be a direct match for their loved ones. By facilitating paired and chain donations, the NKR increases the chances of finding compatible donors, even across different hospitals and regions. Its goal is to save more lives by making kidney transplants more accessible and efficient for patients with kidney failure.
