UC Davis Medical Center

Over the past decade, the waiting list at the University of California Davis Medical Center has doubled, rising from 1,200 patients in 2014 to over 2,000 patients in 2024, while the number of cadaveric kidney transplants has remained relatively constant, averaging between 250 and 300 transplants annually. The center’s cadaveric transplant capacity remains insufficient to address the demand reflected by its waiting list.
