paired kidney donation

Paired kidney donation is a procedure that helps individuals with incompatible donors find compatible matches. When someone needs a kidney transplant but their donor's blood type or tissue isn't a good match, two or more donor-recipient pairs are paired together. Donors from each pair give their kidneys to compatible recipients in the other pairs, creating a chain of transplants. This process increases the chances of a successful match and shorter waiting times, ultimately saving more lives. It’s an innovative solution that maximizes donor compatibility and helps more patients receive transplants.
