How it works
Incompatible Pairs
Many patients in need of a kidney transplant have an immediate family member willing to donate, but are unable to do so due to incompatibility in blood type or tissue match.
Pairing and Matching
JEEVIT.org uses advanced algorithms to match these incompatible pairs with others, enabling a "swap" where each donor gives their kidney to a compatible recipient in another pair.
KidneyChains
In some cases, this exchange can initiate a series of transplants, forming a chain that may help multiple patients receive the kidneys they need.
Why It Matters
Kidney transplants offer a second chance at life for patients suffering from
end-stage renal disease. However, the demand for kidney transplants far exceeds the
number of available organs. JEEVIT.org increases the number of transplants by leveraging
the goodwill of living donors, making it possible for more patients to receive the gift of life.
Who Can Participate
The program is open to any kidney transplant candidate with a willing but incompatible donor. Medical teams at transplant centers across the country collaborate to ensure the safety and success of each exchange, providing a comprehensive evaluation to identify potential matches and coordinate the logistics of surgery.
