ABO incompatible and paired exchange transplantation in Yeshwanthpur

ABO-incompatible transplantation and paired exchange transplantation are two strategies used in the field of organ transplantation to increase the chances of finding a compatible donor for patients in need of a transplant.

ABO-incompatible transplantation and paired exchange transplantation are advanced methods in organ transplant, focusing on kidneys. In ABO-incompatible transplantation, the traditional requirement for organ compatibility based on blood types (A, B, AB, O) is bypassed. Normally, the recipient's and donor's blood types need to match, but in ABO-incompatible cases, the recipient may receive a kidney from a donor with a different blood type. This is made possible through techniques to remove or reduce antibodies in the recipient's blood that could otherwise reject the transplant.

On the other hand, paired exchange transplantation involves multiple pairs of incompatible donors and recipients. For example, if a patient needs a kidney transplant and has a willing donor, but they are not a match, the pair can enter a "swap" program. In this program, multiple pairs in similar situations are matched, and the donors exchange kidneys. This way, each recipient receives a compatible organ from a stranger who is a match for them. Paired exchange programs help increase the chances of finding suitable donors for patients who might otherwise face difficulties in finding a match within their immediate circle.
