Аннотация
PURPOSE OF REVIEW: Seven years have passed since the implementation of the kidney allocation policy by the Organ Procurement and Transplantation Network in the United States, the purpose of this article is to review the impact of these policy changes in addressing disparity and inequities in access to transplantation as well as to assess future directions needed in achieving equity in kidney transplantation.
RECENT FINDINGS: The 2014 kidney allocation system policy aimed to improve access to transplantation through various approaches by reducing organ/recipient longevity mismatches, prioritizing highly sensitized patients, and backdating waitlist time to start of dialysis. The policy however did not improve utilization of high-kidney donor profile index kidneys or decrease kidney discard rate.
SUMMARY: Although the supply-to-demand gap for waitlisted patients has decreased there are several areas that need further investigation, including geographic disparity, barriers in referral for transplantation, evaluating the impact of transplant education, and transplant center waitlist practices on inequities that exist in the prewaitlist stage that impact access to transplantation.
