Kristin, I am curious about how the deceased kidney donor wait lists compare from Mayo Phoenix and Mayo Rochester? How many years and which wait list is shorter? Also, once you are notified of a kidney available, how many hours do they give you to travel there to get the surgery? Thank you, Barbara Bird

@blbird33 - Great questions. You can find all the statistics about transplants at the website https://srtr.org/. There's really a lot that goes into managing wait lists and speed of transplant, and you can find all the statistics there. In general, Arizona transplants kidneys faster than Minnesota at Mayo Clinic. Mayo Clinic Minnesota has 807 people on the list and 15.4% of those get transplanted after a 1 year wait. Arizona Mayo Clinic has 743 people on the list and 36.6% of those get transplanted after a 1 year wait. You can definitely look up more of those statistics on the SRTR website, and there are explanations for those numbers as well. In terms of getting to the transplant center, deceased donor kidneys can be preserved for a day or more so your transplant center would need to let you know how long the kidney has been removed from the donor and how much time you have to get to the transplant center. I hope this information answers your questions! Have a great day!
