READ THE WHITEPAPER
More than 857,000 Americans are living with End-Stage Kidney Disease.
Kidney failure is one of the top 10 causes of death in the United States.
A kidney transplant is the best treatment for kidney failure: patients live 14 to 16 years on a living donor kidney, compared to fewer than 10 years on dialysis.
Living donation has been stuck for 20 years. Without growth, only 30% of eligible patients will ever receive a transplant.
Doubling living donor transplants would save thousands of lives and nearly $10 billion in federal spending over a decade.
