The first national living donor registry for kidneys is soon to be launched in the United States by Donate Life America who, in partnership with the Fresenius Medical Care Foundation, plan to have it up and running in 2020. The National Donate Life Living Donor Registry is planned as an undirected registry, meaning that people will be donating an organ anonymously to a matched recipient on the waiting list.

Donor sequence number represents the number of recipients to whom an organ has been offered. The impact of seeing numerous prior refusals may potentially influence the decision to accept an organ. Researchers sought to determine if DSN was associated with inferior posttransplant outcomes.

In this registry-based observational study of 29,199 candidates for heart transplant in the U.S., the five-year survival benefit associated with heart transplant ranged from 30 to 55 percent. Estimated waiting list survival without transplant was significantly lower at centers with survival benefits significantly above the mean compared with those below the mean, but there was no significant difference in survival after the transplant.

Since lung transplantation became a viable option for cystic fibrosis lung disease, adult transplant recipients with CF have superior survival than all the other major diagnostic indications. However, among adults, recipients with CF have a younger age at transplant than other transplant recipients. Over time, the frequency and proportion of lung transplants for CF has increased for adults compared with children.

Previous studies suggest that direct-acting anti-virals for the treatment of hepatitis C virus infection permits the transplantation of HCV-viremic donor organs in uninfected recipients. This opportunity may expand the donor pool. Researchers assessed the impact of using HCV nucleic acid test–positive donor hearts on heart transplant waitlist time and transplant rate.

Risk factors for kidney failure are the basis of live kidney donor candidate evaluation. Researchers quantified risk for end-stage kidney disease by the biological relationship of the donor to the recipient, a risk factor that is not addressed by current clinical practice guidelines.
