kidney transplant list

A kidney transplant list is a prioritized waiting list for individuals needing a new kidney due to kidney failure. Patients are evaluated and assigned a score based on medical urgency, compatibility, and waiting time. This scoring helps determine the order in which they receive available organs from deceased or living donors. Factors such as blood and tissue matching improve transplant success. The goal is to allocate kidneys fairly and efficiently, giving those in greatest need and with the best chances of success priority access to a transplant when an organ becomes available.
