Key Words New kidney allocation scheme; Longevity matching; Highly sensitized; Kidney donor profile index; Expected post-transplant survival
Core Tip The new kidney allocation system (KAS) was recently implemented in the United States in an attempt to improve the utilization of deceased donor kidneys. A key feature is preferential allocation of best quality organs to wait-list candidates with the longest predictive survival in a concept called longevity matching. Attempts were also made to improve access to kidney transplantation by giving priority points to highly-sensitized recipients and by giving consideration to dialysis vintage. Simulation model has predicted a modest increase in median allograft and patient life-years with the new KAS. Potential limitations and unintended consequences are also discussed in the article.
