Kidney Donation Statistics

GITNUXREPORT 2026

Kidney Donation Statistics

Highly sensitized kidney candidates can wait far beyond the overall US median, and more than 25% of candidates still face waiting times over 3 years based on UNOS OPTN data with allocation match runs updated multiple times per day. Meanwhile, living donation pairs that long wait with reassurance on outcomes, with living donor lifetime ESKD risk commonly estimated around 0.3% and 10-year graft survival reported at 78% in a US registry cohort, plus the cost case that dialysis is a far bigger long term driver than transplant.

More than 25% of kidney candidates in the United States are waiting over 3 years, and for highly sensitized candidates the wait can stretch substantially longer than the overall median based on calculated PRA. At the same time, living donation is linked to low absolute risk of developing ESKD, along with mostly low complication rates and modest, measurable changes in kidney function. Let’s connect how allocation match runs and donor outcome data intersect to explain both the delays patients face and the recovery trajectories donors and recipients experience.
