Swap Transplant

What is Swap Transplant ?

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)

SWAP Matching Algorithm

Automate the matching process,enabling,real-time matching and data sharing across institutions
The concept of One Nation One Swap has been proposed to address these issues by creating a unified centralized, secure,nationwide,database registry for swap transplants

Blood Group

Check the ABO Compatability between Donor and Recipient

HLA Matching

HLA Match and weightage

SAB MFI

Default maximum MFI is 2500. This limit can be altered as per individual preference. It can be fixed as a whole or all alleles or MFI for individual HLA alleles

Age

Age Difference between donors.

Locality

Geographical distance between the Donor hospital and Recipient Hospital

Eplet | CREG

Mismatches between donor and recipient for each mismatched donor and recipient HLA alleles - this list also will be made available to view – no priority or ranking
