Area of Science:

  • Nephrology
  • Transplantation Surgery
  • Immunology

Background:

  • The persistent shortage of donor organs remains a significant obstacle to kidney transplantation in Korea.
  • Despite a gradual increase in cadaveric kidney donations over the past decade, the demand continues to outstrip supply.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To address the donor organ shortage, this study introduces and evaluates the implementation of a kidney paired donation program.
  • The program aims to expand the donor pool for end-stage renal disease patients with incompatible living donors.

Main Methods:

  • The kidney exchange donor program was initiated for patients with end-stage renal disease and willing but incompatible related donors.
  • Transplantations were successfully performed using exchanged kidneys between incompatible donor-recipient pairs.

  • The program was expanded to include non-directed living donors, spouses, and friends, following rigorous donor screening.

    • Main Results:

    • The kidney exchange donor program demonstrated successful transplantation outcomes.
    • The program effectively expanded the donor pool, alleviating pressure on organ supply.
    • The initiative facilitated transplants for patients previously unable to receive a kidney due to immunological incompatibility.

    Conclusions:

    • The kidney exchange donor program is a viable strategy to overcome donor organ shortages in kidney transplantation.
    • Expanding the donor pool through innovative programs like kidney exchange is crucial, especially in regions with limited cadaveric donation.
    • Living donor kidney transplantation, including related, unrelated, and exchange donors, is vital for managing organ scarcity.
