The Alliance for Paired Kidney Donation (APKD) is a global leader in kidney paired donation, dedicated to saving lives by securing living donor kidney transplants for patients in need. Through extensive research and innovative technology, APKD has facilitated over 15,000 kidney donations to date, breaking chains and creating matches between incompatible pairs, resulting in shorter waiting times for transplantation.
APKD provides targeted education to transplant center personnel, offering a Nobel prize-winning algorithm developed by Dr. Alvin Roth to match incompatible pairs with other pairs in the same situation. Their concierge-level support and donor protection program alleviate financial concerns for potential donors, enabling them to focus on their lifesaving gift and recovery. By expanding their transplant center network across the US, APKD aims to increase the number of transplants, ensure a sufficient pool of donors, and keep costs low.
