Alliance for Paired Donation

Description: Transplantation saves lives. The average patient with end stage renal disease will live 10 years longer if they receive a kidney transplant versus staying on dialysis? Unfortunately, there are not enough kidneys to help everyone in need. Over 67,000 people are on the kidney transplant waiting list in America. Sadly, about 12 of these patients die every day while awaiting a kidney, or one person every two hours. To make matters worse, there are mysteries of the immune system that sometimes prevent willing living kidney donors from being able to donate to their loved ones. It is estimated that one third of all willing kidney donors will have an incompatible blood type with their intended recipient. Now for the good news. There is a new way to overcome this problem: an arrangement called paired donation. Kidney paired donation matches one incompatible donor/recipient pair to another pair with a complementary incompatibility, so that the donor of the first pair gives to the recipient of the second, and vice versa. In other words, the two pairs swap kidneys.
