OPTN/SRTR 2024 Annual Data Report: Overview of US Solid Organ Transplantation

The OPTN/SRTR 2024 Annual Data Report provides information about and trends in solid organ transplantation in the United States from 2013 through 2024. Overall, 2024 data reveal ongoing steady increases in volume; the numbers of patients on waiting lists, transplants performed, and organs recovered in solid organ transplantation all continued to reach record levels, reflecting a mix of ongoing improvements as well as persistent challenges in meeting the needs presented by patients with organ failure. This overview provides information about US solid organ transplantation as a whole, while organ-specific chapters provide more detail on kidney, pancreas, liver, intestine, heart, and lung transplant. These organ-specific chapters generally provide data on both adult and pediatric transplant, as well as descriptive data on waiting lists, transplants (including deceased and living donor transplant when applicable), and patient outcomes. Deceased donor recovery information is presented in a separate chapter, although some organ-specific data on donation are presented in their respective chapters. A brief chapter covers vascularized composite allograft transplant.
