In 2006, together with a dedicated group passionate about paired donation, Dr. Michael A. Rees founded the Alliance for Paired Kidney Donation (APKD). We provide transplant center personnel with the education necessary to use our Nobel prize-winning algorithm, developed by Alvin Roth PhD, to match one incompatible pair with another, getting pairs matched faster, with better results. Our concierge-level support, combined with our no-penalty, lower-cost approach, allows transplant coordinators more time to do what matters most to them: support families and patients. Additionally, the APKD offers transplant center partners the most comprehensive donor support program in the nation. In addition to covering transplant-related expenses, the APKD also offers comprehensive insurance for all living donors against any complications related to their nephrectomy…and more. Through generosity, innovation and technology, the APKD has helped change the way the world looks at living kidney donation, but our work is not done.
