DOI: 10.1111/ajt.14106
Abstract: Organ shortage is the major limitation to kidney transplantation in the developed world. Conversely, millions of patients in the developing world with end‐stage renal disease die because they cannot afford renal replacement therapy—even when willing… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ajt.14183
Abstract: In this issue, Rees and colleagues advance a novel strategy to increase living donor kidney transplantation through kidney paired exchange (KPE) (1). Global kidney exchange (GKE) proposes the use of biologically compatible but “financially incompatible”… read more here.

DOI: 10.1111/ajt.14473
Abstract: We are writing in opposition to the proposed Global Kidney Exchange that would solicit living donors from economically underdeveloped countries such as Mexico, the Philippines, Kenya, India and Ethiopia (1). The experience of representatives from… read more here.

Non‐simultaneous kidney exchange cycles in resource‐restricted countries without non‐directed donation – a prospective single‐center cohort study
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2021 at "Transplant International"
DOI: 10.1111/tri.13833
Abstract: Recent reports suggest that bridge–donor reneging is rare (1.5%) in non‐simultaneous kidney exchange chains. However, in developing countries, the non‐directed donors who would be needed to initiate chains are unavailable, and furthermore, limited surgical space… read more here.

DOI: 10.1177/0272989x19849457
Abstract: Kidney exchanges were developed to match kidney failure patients with willing but incompatible donors to other donor-patient pairs. Finding a match in a large candidate pool can be modeled as an integer program. However, these… read more here.

Market Failure in Kidney Exchange

DOI: 10.1257/aer.20180771
Abstract: We show that kidney exchange markets suffer from market failures whose remedy could increase transplants by 30 to 63 percent. First, we document that the market is fragmented and inefficient; most transplants are arranged by… read more here.
