The National Kidney Registry is creating opportunities for kidney transplants!
NKR facilitated transplants: 1278
Active donors: 332
What do these numbers mean?
NKR Facilitated Transplants are the number of kidney transplants facilitated by NKR through paired exchange since NKR became operational in 2008.
The number of active donors indicates how large the pool is. A large donor pool provides the highest probability of finding a great match which is correlated with long lasting kidneys. The NKR donor pool is the largest paired exchange donor pool in the world.
If you are a potential living donor interested in starting a chain of kidney transplants, or are a kidney patient who has a willing, but non-matching donor, check out http://kidneyregistry.org/
