Thomas Jefferson University Hospital is located close to the Hospital of the University of Pennsylvania, placing two large kidney transplant programs within the same Philadelphia market. Both centers have substantial waiting lists, reflecting high demand for kidney transplantation in the region.
A large portion of this center’s waiting list is currently inactive, with about 300 out of 500 candidates in this category. Inactive candidates usually do not receive organ offers during this time, but they can stay on the waiting list and keep accumulating waiting time. Thomas Jefferson University Hospital has consistently maintained a high number of inactive candidates on the waiting list for many years.
Thomas Jefferson University Hospital maintains a consistent kidney transplant waiting list of approximately 600 patients, while averaging 70 cadaveric kidney transplants annually. In 2024, only 12% of waitlisted patients received a cadaveric transplant.
