Welcome
A Life-Saving Option
The New England Program for Kidney Exchange offers
new life-saving options to those seeking a kidney transplant,
but whose potential living donor is not a good biological
"match" due to either blood type incompatibility
or cross-match incompatibility. This option is known as
kidney exchange, kidney paired donation, or kidney swap.
NEPKE uses a computer program to find cases
where the donor in an incompatible pair can be matched to
a recipient in another pair. By exchanging donors, a compatible
match for both recipients may be found. You can learn more
about the program HERE and read
our newsletter here.
NEPKE can also find potential kidney
recipients for those generous people who seek to become non-directed
living donors (otherwise known as Good Samaritan Donors
or
Altruistic Donors). Information about that process is available
HERE .
