APKD & MedSleuth:
A powerful partnership

To bring more value to transplant centers and patients alike, APKD has partnered with MedSleuth. This partnership builds on the strengths of our robust matching programs and the powerful Kidney Matchgrid™ software. Our combined network makes a powerful resource, as it doubles our pool of kidney donors, streamlines kidney paired donation service, increases our number of matches and transplants, and, ultimately, saves more lives.

Kidney Matchgrid™ is the paired kidney donation software platform owned and operated by the Alliance for Paired Kidney Donation globally and through a U.S. partnership with MedSleuth. Kidney Matchgrid™ empowers transplant centers to facilitate paired donation matches like never before.
