Increasing Access to Kidney Transplantation in African Americans and Asian Through Modification of Current Allocation Policy for A2 to B Kidney Transplants.

If this policy was universally adopted, we would expect to see an overall increase of A2 to B transplantation, but in reality, not all centers perform ABOi transplantation. Thus, adopting this policy would incentivize other centers to perform more subtyping of A-type kidneys, and it would increase access to organs for blood type B Asian and African Americans in centers where ABOi transplantation already takes place.
