  • Title: Kidney paired donation and its potential impact on transplantation.
    Author: Aull MJ, Kapur S.
    Journal: Surg Clin North Am; 2013 Dec; 93(6):1407-21. PubMed ID: 24206859.
    Abstract:
    This article updates the unique opportunities available to kidney transplant candidates through kidney paired donation (KPD). KPD enables kidney transplant candidates with willing but incompatible living donors to enroll in a registry of other incompatible pairs to find a compatible transplant. Because of the ongoing shortage of deceased donor organs, KPD represents the most promising opportunity to increase the number of kidneys available for transplantation.
