The total number of low eplet mismatch transplants NKR has facilitated at a center over the past 12 months. Low eplet mismatch transplants usually have a lower risk of rejection and may enable the recipient to receive lower dosages of immunosuppressive medication For more information, visit the NKR website. x |
The total number of transplants NKR has facilitated at a center over the past 12 months. Generally, a higher number indicates a higher level of experience in completing paired exchange. x |
Additional prioritization points on the deceased kidney donor list if a living donor ever needs a kidney. x |
Prioritization for a living donor kidney if an NKR donor ever needs a kidney. Living donor kidneys typically last twice as long as deceased donor kidneys. For more information, visit the Donor Shield website. x |
Donor Shield offers comprehensive support and protections, including reimbursement of lost wages, dependent care and travel expenses, to donors who donate through the NKR's paired exchange or voucher programs or through a Donor Shield Direct Center. For more information, visit the Donor Shield website. x |
Remote kidney donation allows a living donor to donate a kidney at a local hospital and have it safely transported to the recipient's transplant center for transplantation. For more information, visit the Donor Shield website. x |
The Voucher Program allows a kidney donor to give a voucher to an intended recipient who is in imminent need of a kidney transplant. After the donor donates, the voucher holder may redeem the voucher to be prioritized for a living donor kidney through the National Kidney Registry. Learn more about the Voucher Program. x |
A network of transplant centers that have the opportunity to participate in a variety of living donation programs and must adhere to strict requirements and guidelines. To find an NKR Member Center visit the NKR website. x |
NKR Member Centers eligible to receive highly qualified donor referrals (online screening, medical history and labs completed) from the NKR, including referrals from the NKR website, NKR microsites and other NKR partner organizations. x |
The Kidney for Life initiative uses the latest technology in DNA sequencing to find the best match between patients and donors, so the kidney will last longer. For more information, visit the Kidney for Life website. x |

The Kidney for Life initiative utilizes the latest technology in DNA sequencing to assess the histologic match between patients and donors. This assessment allows our transplant centers to better select donors for specific recipients by giving them a much more detailed picture of the match between the donor and recipient. The better the match between the donor and recipient, the longer the kidney can last and the less immunosuppression the recipient requires. Visit www.kidneyforlife.org for more information. x |

Microsites are free personal websites meant to assist patients looking for a living donor in their donor search. The site can be shared through social media and via the 250 business cards each microsite patient receives. The cards showcase the patient’s name and website URL and can be handed out in patients’ day-to-day lives. Patients can personalize the microsite with photos and their story or they can use the starter site, which works similarly to a custom site but has standard text and no pictures. x |
This indicates whether a center offers a non-steroidal immunosuppressive regimen in order to avoid the negative side effects of long-term steroid therapy, including excess body hair growth, weight gain, moon face, etc. This is especially important for children. x |
The Voucher Program allows a kidney donor to give a voucher to an intended recipient who is in imminent need of a kidney transplant. After the donor donates, the voucher holder may redeem the voucher to be prioritized for a living donor kidney through the National Kidney Registry. Learn more about the Voucher Program. x |
Any Standard Voucher holder, Family Voucher holder, or a Paired Recipient receiving a kidney in an NKR facilitated transplant who experiences primary non-functioning where the kidney never worked and/or the recipient was never removed from dialysis, which is reported to the NKR within the first 90 days post-transplant, will be targeted for a chain end kidney if they desire another living donor transplant. Waitlist recipients and direct donation recipients are not eligible for this replacement policy. x |
All transplant centers that work with the NKR are Member Centers. This is the base level of participation. x |

An Important Note on Survival Rates: The higher a center's transplant volume in any given category, the less likely the center will achieve a 100% survival rate in that category. Also, centers that take on tough cases are likely to have lower survival rates.
