Is It the Time To Apply the Model of Czech-Austrian Kidney Paired Donation Program?

Living donor (LD) kidney transplantation is currently the best treatment of choice for patients with end stage renal disease. However, in a significant amount of cases there are immunological barriers between the potential donor and recipient. While kidney paired donation (KPD) or kidney exchange program (KEP) would certainly help to overcome these barriers and find immunological appropriate donor for each recipient, a single institutional or even a small country national list can be unsuccessful as numbers really do matter in this situation.
