Risks of Paired Exchanges

Paired kidney exchanges come with their own specific risks:

  • Since multiple patients need to be medically cleared for surgery, there is a higher chance that the transplants will be delayed because one of the participating patients isn't ready.
  • There is a risk that one of the kidneys in the exchange is unusable.
  • Both donor operations are usually performed at the same time so that none of the donors change their mind after the other donor gives up a kidney.

The donors do not have control over who receives their kidney or how the recipient treats their new kidney.
