What is the consequence of the kidney shortage?

It is a catastrophe. We conservatively estimate that each year 43,000 patients suffer on dialysis and die prematurely because of the shortage. That’s equivalent to 85 fully loaded 747s crashing each year. That’s 118 patients dying each day. Since 1988 (when data collection began) almost 1 million patients have suffered and died prematurely because of the shortage.

All patient cases have been documented and verified for accuracy.
