West Virginia University Hospital Kidney Transplant: Wait Times & Patient Data

West Virginia University launched its kidney transplant program in 2020 and remains a relatively young program. Its deceased-donor transplant volume has remained low. One factor may be the unusual transplant landscape within West Virginia: Charleston Area Medical Center, the state's older kidney program, has historically offered some of the shortest deceased-donor kidney wait times in the country and attracts patients from both West Virginia and neighboring states.

West Virginia University program is still relatively early in its development, making its longer-term transplant volume and growth worth watching.
