Univ of Wisconsin Hosp and Clinics

Over the past decade, the kidney transplant waiting list at the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics has declined significantly, from over 1,000 patients in 2014 to under 600 in 2024. However, this reduction is largely attributed to patient removals due to medical deterioration during the prolonged wait, as the annual supply of cadaveric kidneys—averaging approximately 250 per year—has not kept pace with demand.
