Paired Exchange Kidney Transplantation

Paired Exchange Kidney Transplantation is a solution for people needing kidney transplants who have willing but incompatible donors, such as family members. In this process, multiple donor-recipient pairs exchange their kidneys. For instance, if Donor A can't donate to Recipient A, they can give their kidney to Recipient B, while Recipient B’s donor gives their kidney to Recipient A. This exchange allows every donor to help their loved ones receive compatible kidneys, improving the chances of successful transplants and reducing waiting times for patients on the transplant list.
