Expanding the live kidney donor pool: ethical considerations regarding altruistic donors, paired and pooled programs.
TLDR
Ethical issues surrounding the various methods of expanding the donor pool, including altruistic donation as well as paired and pooled exchange programs, are explored.

TLDR
This review is a plea for implementing a national kidney paired donation programme in Switzerland, able to facilitate kidney transplantation in 49% of registered incompatible pairs.
Strategies to expand the living donor pool for kidney transplantation.
TLDR
In the opinion logistic solutions like paired exchange, list exchange and altruistic donation programs are to be preferred over the more medical demanding programs e.g. desensitization and transplantation across the blood type barrier.

Clinical results from transplanting incompatible live kidney donor/recipient pairs using kidney paired donation.
TLDR
This series of patients who received transplants from a single-center KPD pool provides evidence that recipients with incompatible live donors, even those with rare blood type combinations or high degrees of HLA antigen sensitization, can receive transplants through KPD with graft survival rates that appear to be equivalent to directed, compatible live donor transplants.
The Dutch National Living Donor Kidney Exchange Program
TLDR
The living donor kidney exchange program is a successful approach that does not harm any of the candidates on the deceased donor kidney waitlist and should be sustained for optimal results.

TLDR
This study replicates the 1997 findings and increases confidence that a significant minority of British Columbians support living anonymous donation and that some would consider becoming LADs themselves.

TLDR
This work proposes to increase the supply of organs by using kidneys from living donors who are ABO-incompatible with the intended recipients but are A BO-compatible with other recipients through an exchange arrangement.
Should all living donors be treated equally?
TLDR
It is argued that voluntary donations have a degree of moral obligation based on intimacy and that intimacy allows, but does not require, that these donors take on slightly additional risk.
