A Message from Kidney Paired Donation (KPD) Work Group
We are pleased to present this report to the transplant community and welcome the opportunity to share
information and results of the OPTN/UNOS Kidney Paired Donation Pilot Program (KPDPP). The vision of
the program is that every kidney transplant candidate with an incompatible but willing and approved living
donor receives a living donor kidney transplant. To that end, the first match run was conducted in late 2010.
Through March 31, 2014, 88 patients have received a life­saving kidney transplant through the program. In
2013 alone, 52 patients were transplanted, a 246% increase over the previous high of 15 in 2011.
