We've facilitated our first six antigen match in a kidney swap where one of the recipients received a perfectly matched kidney (six antigen match). This recipient had 65 listed antibodies giving them about a one in a thousand chance of finding a match. This represents the true power of our paired exchange program when combine with a national pool of donors and recipients. As NKR continues to grow, the math indicates we will find more of these miracle matches.
Congratulations to Sharp, CPMC, UCSF, Columbia and Cornell for successfully completing these 4 more paired exchange transplants this week.
