Core Tip
Core tip: Reasons for joining kidney exchange transplantation are ABO blood group incompatibility, immunological incompatibility (positive cross match or donor specific antibody), human leukocyte antigen (HLA) incompatibility (poor HLA matching), chronological incompatibility and financial incompatibility. Here, we discuss recent advances in kidney exchange transplantation such as International kidney exchange transplantation in a global environment, three categories of advanced donation program, deceased donors as a source of chain initiating kidneys, donor renege myth or reality, pros and cons of anonymity in developed world and (non-) anonymity in developing world, pros and cons of donor travel vs kidney transport, need of algorithm for management of incompatible donor-recipient pairs and Global kidney exchange.
