Swap Transplant
Proposal for a Swap Transplant Registry
A swap transplant is a simple barter system that facilitates organ exchange between two pairs. Each pair consists of a recipient (a patient) and a donor (a family member). Swap transplantation is an innovative solution to address the challenges of organ donation
In cases where donors and recipients are incompatible due to blood group or HLA (Human Leukocyte Antigen) mismatches, swap transplantation enables organ exchange between unrelated pairs, expanding the pool of available organs
Why Incompatibilities Matter?
- Blood Group Incompatibility
- HLA Incompatibility
- Donor-Specific Antibodies (DSA)
