KPDPP participants: Register now and prepare for upcoming policy changes by engaging in Q&A with a panel of subject matter experts.
The program's vision is that every kidney transplant candidate with an incompatible but willing and approved living donor receives a living donor kidney transplant. Its mission is to develop a successful KPD program with universal access to all OPTN members that prioritizes the medical and psychosocial safety of living donors and candidates.
