Kidney Paired Donation Protocol for Participating Donors 2014

Abstract

Purpose of the Protocol This Protocol has been developed to ensure the harmonization of donor assessment and acceptance practices for enrolling living donors in the Kidney Paired Donation Program, managed and operated by Canadian Blood Services in collaboration with the provincial Living Kidney Donation and Transplant programs across the country. Assessment and acceptance criteria for living donors vary between programs across Canada as shown throughout this Protocol. This variability has two primary effects on the Kidney Paired Donation Program: declines of matched donors and delays in accepting a donor by the recipient’s program because of the need for additional testing to meet local assessment and acceptance criteria. Implementation of this protocol by participating Living Kidney Donation programs should help to minimize the problem of donors being declined when matched with a candidate in the Kidney Paired Donation Program. SECTION ONE: INTRODUCTION Glossary of Acronyms and AbbreviationsTable: No title available.Background The Canadian Kidney Paired Donation Protocol for Participating Donors (hereafter called “the Protocol”) was prepared by a joint working group of the Canadian Blood Services' Living Donation Advisory Committee.
