Abstract:
The lack of available deceased donors and the immunological incompatibility between the patients and their voluntary donor candidates make kidney exchange among donor-patient pairs a preferable solution performed locally by many organ transplantation centers in Turkey. However, maximum benefit from kidney exchange can only be achieved when the donor patient pool is maximized using a nationwide kidney exchange program. This work discusses kidney exchange practices worldwide to develop a nationwide exchange program in Turkey and related challenges.
