Overview & Goals
Kidney transplantation is the optimal treatment for patients with end-stage renal disease, usually increasing quality of life and survival. With very few new ESRD patients receiving a pre-emptive kidney transplant and with only a fraction ultimately receiving transplants, inventive new strategies to increase kidney donations and transplants are not only essential—but critical—to the survival of nearly 100,000 patients currently on the kidney transplant waitlist.
KTC since its inception has been committed to developing policy solutions and funding innovative and groundbreaking programs that can demonstrate and achieve a significant increase in kidney transplants.
