Fifty percent of kidneys from a living donor still function after 16 to 20 years, and with organs from deceased donors, a transplanted kidney should last 8 to 10 years.
Currently, there are over 93,000 people on the kidney transplant waiting list. The wait for a deceased donor could be 5 years, and in some states, it is closer to 10 years.Patients are prioritized by how long theyâve been on the waiting list, their blood type, immune system activity and other factors.80% of the people on the waiting list are on kidney dialysis.The longer a person is on dialysis and has to wait for a transplant, the short and long term success rates are negatively affected. On average, receiving a kidney transplant can double someoneâs life expectancy.0% of the people on the waiting list are on kidney dialysis.
