Abstract
Kidney paired donation (KPD) offers a crucial solution to the challenges of organ transplantation, particularly for patients with immunological incompatibilities. By allowing incompatible donor-recipient pairs to exchange donors with other pairs, KPD significantly expands the donor pool, enhancing the likelihood of successful transplants. Advanced algorithms and desensitization techniques further optimize matching and compatibility. The ethical challenges, including equitable access and donor autonomy, require robust guidelines and transparency. As KPD programs evolve, incorporating strategies like altruistic donations and international collaborations can further enhance transplant success, making kidney transplants more accessible and equitable globally.
