Over the past decade, the kidney transplant waiting list at the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center has declined significantly, from over 700 patients in 2014 to under 500 in 2024. However, this reduction is largely attributed to patients being removed from the list due to medical deterioration during the prolonged wait, as the annual supply of cadaveric kidneys—averaging just 120 per year—has not kept pace with demand.
