kidney transplant waiting list

The kidney transplant waiting list is a registry that matches patients with severe kidney failure to available donor kidneys. Patients are prioritized based on medical need, time spent waiting, compatibility, and other factors. Being on the list means waiting for a suitable organ to become available so they can undergo surgery to replace their failing kidneys, improving their health and longevity. The process aims to ensure fair and effective distribution of donated kidneys among those in need.
