Simple beginnings
2007: For the first year only 2-way exchanges were considered in the scheme of HLA and / or blood group incompatible pairs 2008: After one year, 3-way exchanges were also considered

Changes to scheme in 2012
• Short altruistic donor chains introduced
• Compatible pairs can join
• Patients can be registered for blood group or HLA incompatible transplant through the scheme

Identifying Optimal Combination of Transplants
• Over 200 pairs every ‘matching run’
• This results in 2000-5000 arcs (donor-recipient matches)
• Arcs are weighted to give preference to certain matches
• Seek to maximise number of transplants according to criteria developed with transplant community

Matching Principles Optimal Combination of Transplants1
1. Maximise 2-way exchanges (inc. embedded in 3-way) 2. Maximise number of transplants
3. Minimise 3-way exchanges 4. Maximise 3-way with embedded 2-way and long chains 5. Maximise ‘score’ of set of transplants
Score based on
• Previous matching runs for patient
• Sensitisation of patient
• HLA mismatch of identified transplant
• Donor-donor age difference

Other scheme developments considered
No conclusive (simulation) evidence of any strong benefit of such changes:
Policy Transplants over 5 years
Current scheme policy (Baseline)
Matching runs every 2 months + 3%
Matching altruistic donors every week - 2%
NEAD chains + 2-3% (2% renege rate) - 7% (10% renege rate)
1 Should we run the matching more frequently? 2 Should we match altruistic donors as and when they arise? 3 What about Non-simultaneous Extended Altruistic Donor (NEAD) chains?

Making it happen…….

Our Ambition
“To match world class performance in living donor
kidney transplantation”
Maximise opportunities for donors and recipients to contribute to and benefit from the UKLKSS by ensuring that the schemes are clinically and cost effective • 75% of matched donors proceed to donation and
achieve maximum number of transplants
• All donors and recipients proceed to surgery within 8 weeks of a suitable match being identified

Operational Aspects
![Page 34: The UK Living Kidney Sharing Scheme - kidneysforlife.org · • Blood group incompatibility • Positive crossmatch Approx 20-30% of possible living donor transplants x Living kidney](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022040623/5d4b4e9f88c99329638b6a79/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Key Characteristics
• UK-wide scheme; centrally run by NHSBT – All UK transplant centres participate (adults & children) – All work up complete – Recipients can be registered with >1 donor – Incompatible and compatible pairs – Can define individual age & HLA match requirements – Permit simple HLA or ABO incompatible transplants through scheme – Kidneys trave
• Annual timetable; quarterly matching runs
• ‘Pre-run’ to confirm inclusion of potential donor matches
• All recipients suspended from national deceased donor transplant list once match identified
![Page 35: The UK Living Kidney Sharing Scheme - kidneysforlife.org · • Blood group incompatibility • Positive crossmatch Approx 20-30% of possible living donor transplants x Living kidney](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022040623/5d4b4e9f88c99329638b6a79/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Challenges • Size and complexity of the scheme; managing success
• Non-proceeding transplants; delays and cancellations
• Timely surgery and simultaneous coordination
• Complex cases; exchange of information between centres
• Completeness of registration data
• Maximising potential of non-directed altruistic kidney pool
• Awareness and access; clinical decision-making
• Clinical governance and reporting

Innovations Maximising Transplants
![Page 48: The UK Living Kidney Sharing Scheme - kidneysforlife.org · • Blood group incompatibility • Positive crossmatch Approx 20-30% of possible living donor transplants x Living kidney](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022040623/5d4b4e9f88c99329638b6a79/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
Tackling Non-Proceeding Transplants
• Donor-recipient registration
– Electronic; mandatory fields for recipient preferences – Simplified timetable for including clinical and H&I data
• Agreed criteria for donor complexity and exchanging essential donor-recipient information
• Monitoring performance
– Agreed governance structure- prior approval and reporting – On-line survey monkey for non-proceeding transplants – Re-categorisation for non-proceeding transplants – Quarterly UKLKSS bulletin: activity and performance
![Page 49: The UK Living Kidney Sharing Scheme - kidneysforlife.org · • Blood group incompatibility • Positive crossmatch Approx 20-30% of possible living donor transplants x Living kidney](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022040623/5d4b4e9f88c99329638b6a79/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)
Increasing Flexibility
• Inclusion of compatible pairs, desensitisation and low risk ABOi for highly sensitised recipients
• Recipient age and HLA preferences registered at inclusion
• Streamlined timetable of key dates
• Agreed framework for non-simultaneous surgery
• Designated weeks of surgery- extended from 2 to 3 weeks (weeks 5,6,&8 post matching run)
• Electronic registration and reporting
![Page 50: The UK Living Kidney Sharing Scheme - kidneysforlife.org · • Blood group incompatibility • Positive crossmatch Approx 20-30% of possible living donor transplants x Living kidney](https://reader031.vdocument.in/reader031/viewer/2022040623/5d4b4e9f88c99329638b6a79/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
Improving Access and Awareness
• All NDADs enter matching run unless there is a high priority recipient on the national transplant list
• Shared learning
– UK Living Donor Kidney Network – Quarterly UKLKSS bulletin: activity and performance;
shared learning, trends and solutions; KAG updates • On-line decision-making resources (slides; ‘chance of
transplant’ calculator)1
• Revised portfolio of donor-recipient information2

What else could we do?
• Electronic offering system for UKLKSS- ‘Living EOS’
• Develop recipient ‘acceptable risk’ score to replace donor complexity
• Use on-line survey monkey reporting to inform further developments and improvements
• International collaboration to extend donor pool and transplant opportunities (COST- ENCKEP)

Summary
• Delivers effective kidney sharing across the UK
– 842 (36%) registered recipients transplanted – 59% of identified transplants proceeded – 62% of transplants proceed within 8 weeks
• International reputation
– Largest national scheme in Europe; central coordination – Maximises transplants and outcomes
• As transplant activity has increased, antibody incompatible transplant activity has decreased
• Continuous innovation and improvement is key to success
