13 People Die Every Day Waiting For A Kidney Transplant

Many people who need transplants of organs and tissues cannot get them because of a shortage of donations. Of the 123,000 Americans currently on the waiting list for a lifesaving organ transplant, more than 101,000 need a kidney, but only 17,000 people receive one each year. Every day 13 people die waiting for a kidney. Source: Renal Healthcare
