The waiting list for organ transplants in the U.S. has shown significant trends from 2001 to 2011. For the first time, no increase in overall waiting list additions was observed in 2011 compared to 2010, with notable implications for kidney transplants. Deceased donors rose by 2.3%, highlighting advances in donation types, including a shift towards donation after cardiac death (DCD) donors, who now represent 13% of all deceased donors. However, living donation saw an 8% decline from the previous year, underscoring varying trends in organ availability.
