Disclosures
The KPD Pilot Program was late to the KPD arena as the proposal released for public comment in 2006, Board approved in 2008, and performed the first transplant in 2010.
Reached the “tipping point” in national participation
Now have the opportunity to present early outcomes
Background
OPTN KPDPP Transplants
As of July 24: 110 transplants
Chains and 3-way exchanges comprised 90% of the transplants

Time Waiting following Listing for KPDPP Transplant Recipients
Outcomes after Being Added to KPD System
After 1 year, about half are still waiting; 43% transplanted by OPTN KPDPP or other means.
Expanding Access
From 10/2010 through 2/2014, 83 KPD transplant were facilitated through the OPTN KPDPP
During this time, 19,028 other living donor (LD) and 34,709 deceased donor (DD) were performed
6 month outcomes were reviewed on these cohorts with regard to key outcomes
KPD transplants outside of pilot program identified by living donor relationship reported as “paired donation”

Transplant Type # Transplants Median CIT (hr) % DGF % GS (6 mo) KM
OPTN KPDPP 83 8.0 2.4 98.8
Other LD KTx 19,028 1.0 3.1 98.1
DD Tx 34,709 15.9 24.8 95.1
Outcomes Summary
Early Graft Survival
Over 90% of the shared kidneys were shipped from the donor to the recipient center with a median CIT of 8 hours
Despite the longer CIT, DGF was equitant with the national cohort of LD transplants (2.4%) and less than DD tx 24.8%
The distribution of KPDPP recipients was relatively similar to the candidate entry into the program. One notable exception is that AA recipients represented 21% of the recipients (compared to 13% for all LD)
Summary
KPDPP Initial 6 month graft survival (98.8%) was equivalent to all LD graft survival (98.1%) and improved compared to DD transplant recipients (95.1%)
Although time to listing in the KPDPP was over 500 days from initial transplant listing, the median time to transplant for the recipients was 187 days and over 80% of the transplanted recipients waited less than a year
Summary
The KPDPP has proved excellent 6 month outcomes that are comparable to the entire national LD recipient population
Shipping kidneys in the KPDPP, despite longer CIT, does not appear to have a detrimental effect on outcomes
All patients with a willing but incompatible living donor should be offered an early opportunity to be listed as a donor-recipient pair in the OPTN/UNOS KPDPP
Conclusion
