Core Tip |
Kidney paired donation (KPD) has rapidly increased the access to living donor kidney transplantation (LDKT) in the last decade. The participation in the international kidney exchange registries will expand the donor pool for kidney transplantation. We report first Indian international living related KPD transplantation which occurred on 17th February 2015 after legal permission from authorization committee between a pair from Portugal and India who were highly sensitized and ABO incompatible with their spouse respectively. International KPD will increases quality and quantity of LDKT. This could be an important step to solving the kidney shortage with additional benefit of reduced costs, improved quality and increased access for difficult to match incompatible pairs like O blood group patient with non-O donor and sensitized patient. |
