AB There  are  more  than  10,000  deceased  donor  and  6000  live  donor  kidney  transplants  performed  annually  in  the  United  States.  According  to  the  National  Kidney  Foundation,  there  are  currently  123,175  people  waiting  for  organ  transplants  in  the  United  States,  82%  of  which  are  awaiting  kidney  transplants.  That  list  continues  to  grow  as  nearly  3000  new  patients  are  added  to  the  kidney  waiting  list  each  month,  and  unfortunately,  approximately  12  people  die  each  day  of  end-stage  renal  disease.
