The organ most in demand for transplant is the kidney.
Kidneys are the most frequently needed organs for transplantation. This high demand stems from the increasing prevalence of kidney failure, often caused by conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure. The need for kidneys significantly outstrips the available supply, leading to long waiting lists for patients in need of a transplant.
While livers are also in high demand and can be donated by living donors, the need for kidneys is consistently higher. This difference in demand underscores the critical importance of kidney donation and research into alternative treatments for kidney disease.
