About Swap Kidney Transplant

When someone wants to give a kidney to a family member but they don't match, a kidney swap can help. This may be termed as 'Paired Kidney Exchange' or 'Swap Kidney Transplant'. In a swap, two families exchange kidneys so that both recipients get a match. It's like a teamwork where two donors give kidneys to two different people at the same time. This swap is needed when the blood types don't match within a family. It's a way for families facing this challenge to still help each other. This process creates a chain of kidney exchanges, making sure that everyone finds the right match and gets the kidney they need.
