    Description

    In 2024, California had the highest number of liver transplants performed among all U.S. states. That year, there were around 1,243 liver transplants performed in California. The state with the second-highest number of liver transplants was Texas. Liver transplants are the second most common transplant in the United States, behind kidney transplants. Liver transplants in the United States In 2023, there were just over 10,660 liver transplants carried out in the United States. Most liver transplants in the U.S. are among adults aged 50 to 64 years, with this age group accounting for around 43 percent of all liver transplants. The current need for liver transplants exceeds availability, with over nine thousand people in the United States waiting to receive a liver transplant. Liver transplantation is a treatment option for those suffering from end-stage chronic liver disease, in which the liver is damaged beyond repair. Liver disease End-stage chronic liver disease, or liver failure, has various causes including cirrhosis, hepatitis B and C, and liver cancer. Around half of all deaths in the United States caused by liver cirrhosis are related to alcohol use. Liver cirrhosis is scarring of the liver because of long-term damage. The death rate due to alcohol-related cirrhosis in the United States has increased over the past couple decades. Men are much more likely to die from liver cirrhosis than women.

    Description

    In 2024, there were ****** organ transplants in the United States. This was the highest number ever, with the second-highest number of transplants reported in 2023. In the United States, the most commonly transplanted organs are the kidneys, liver, and heart. Who donates organs in the United States? In 2024, there were just over ****** organ donors in the United States. Men accounted for around ** percent of organ donors that year. Some organs, such as a kidney, can be donated while the donor is alive, but most donations occur after the donor has deceased. For this reason, it is no surprise that most organ donors in the United States are older adults. In 2024, the highest number of organ donors were in the age group 50–64 years. Although the number of organ donors in the U.S. has increased gradually over the past few decades, those requiring an organ transplantation still far outnumber donors, with thousands currently on waiting lists to receive an organ transplantation that may save their life. Waiting lists for transplants In the United States, there were ******* candidates waiting for an organ transplantation as of May 2025. Around ** percent of these candidates were waiting for a kidney transplantation, while *****percent needed a liver transplant. Older adults are more likely to need an organ transplant than younger people, with those aged 50 to 64 years accounting for the highest number of candidates on organ donation waiting lists.

    Description

    The demand for organ transplants in the United States continues to outpace supply, with over 105,000 individuals awaiting life-saving procedures as of May 2025. Kidneys remain the most sought-after organ, accounting for nearly 87 percent of all transplant candidates. This significant need underscores the ongoing challenges in organ donation and allocation across the country. Trends in transplantation rates While the waiting list for organs remains long, there have been notable improvements in transplantation rates for certain organs. For instance, the rate of lung transplants per million inhabitants in the United States nearly doubled from 4.9 in 2008 to 9.1 in 2023. This increase reflects advancements in medical technology and improved organ procurement processes. Liver transplants Liver transplants are the second most common type after kidney transplants. In 2024, individuals aged 50-64 received the highest number of liver transplants, with 4,949 procedures performed for this age group. California led the nation in liver transplants performed in 2024, followed by Texas, highlighting regional variations in organ availability and medical capabilities.

    Description

    The Adult-to-Adult Living Donor Liver Transplantation Cohort Study (A2ALL) was a consortium of 9 U.S. liver transplant centers performing adult-to-adult living donor liver transplant (AALDLT) with the primary goal of examining outcomes of AALDLT versus deceased donor liver transplant (DDLT). AALDLT is a relatively new procedure increasingly used at major transplantation centers. Relatively small numbers of cases are performed at any one center and approaches to the patient and donor are too diverse across centers to provide reliable and generalizable information on donor and recipient outcomes from individual centers. Therefore, the consortium was organized to accrue and follow sufficient numbers of patients being considered for and undergoing AALDLT to provide generalizable results from adequately powered studies.

    The Adult to Adult Living Donor Liver Transplantation Cohort Study (A2ALL) consisted of both retrospective and prospective studies of AALDLT. Legacy data from the A2ALL retrospective cohort is housed in the NIDDK Data Repository. The A2ALL retrospective cohort comprised 819 adult patients, each with a potential living donor, evaluated between January 1, 1998 and February 28, 2003. The retrospective study was designed to gain initial insights into outcomes associated with liver transplant procedures, with data drawn from existing medical records and patient materials. It was hypothesized that pursuit of a living liver allograft leads to decreased pre-transplant morbidity and mortality and better long term outcomes for patients starting from the point at which listed patients have a potential donor evaluated (at least a history and physical examination). The study analyzed numerous variables to determine the factors influencing allograft survival in recipients.

    The A2ALL study showed evidence that AALDLT is a viable option for liver replacement with outcomes that improve with center experience. Donor characteristics associated with survival included younger age and cold ischemia time of the right lobe graft.

    MRI and CT Scan images from subjects enrolled in A2ALL are not included in the data package, but are available upon request.

    Market Size
    Description

    The size of the U.S. Transplantation Market was valued at USD XX Million in 2023 and is projected to reach USD XXX Million by 2032, with an expected CAGR of 8.5 % during the forecast period. U.S. transplantation refers to a medical procedure whereby organs, tissues, or cells from one human being (the donor) are transferred to another (the recipient) as a treatment measure for any of the life-threatening conditions affecting the latter. The majority of transplants conducted within the U.S. fall into the category of kidney, liver, heart, lung, and pancreas transplants. Since the advent of transplant services, medical technology, surgery techniques, and immunosuppressive therapies have improved over time greatly. The U.S. transplant system is managed through agencies such as the United Network for Organ Sharing, which coordinates organ allocation. However, the gap between the number of individuals in need of transplants and the number of organ donors is still very large, resulting in long waiting periods for many patients. Continuous efforts are being made to enhance awareness about organ donation, improve preservation methods, and explore alternatives like bioengineered organs. U.S. transplantation continues to be an important field in medical research, which can also offer hope for patients who experience end-stage organ failure. Recent developments include: In May 2022, Medtronic plc partnered with DaVita, Inc. to form a novel, independent kidney care-focused medical device company NewCo to enhance the overall outcomes and patient treatment. , In February 2022, Veloxis Pharmaceuticals, Inc. announced that VEL-101 immunosuppressive agent received fast track designation by the U.S FDA. VEL-101 is an investigational novel maintenance immunosuppressive agent purposed for prophylaxis of renal allograft rejection for kidney transplant in patients. .

    Description

    This statistic shows the number of selected organ transplantations performed in the United States, comparing the years 2008 and 2023. In 2008, the number of heart transplants in the U.S. stood at 2,163. This number had increased to 4,599 in 2023. Organ transplantations in the United States The number of liver transplants in the United States reached 10,660 cases in 2023. In this year, there were 3,080 lung transplants. Organ transplants are one of the only methods for treating organ failure. Survival rates are fairly high after the first year, at 90.4 percent for a heart transplant patient, however, survival rates drop after longer follow-up periods, at 58.5 percent after a 10 year follow up period for heart transplant patients. There are several different types of transplants such as an allograft and a domino transplant. An allograft is characterized by transplanting an organ or tissue to a different person, the rejection of the organ will likely occur where the recipient’s immune system will attempt to destroy the foreign organ. Risk of rejection must be carefully measured and calculated prior to the procedure.

    As per the latest report published by the cognitive Market Research, The Transplant Diagnostic Market was valued at USD 4.52 Billion in 2022 and is projected to reach USD 7.43 Billion in 2030, registering a CAGR of 7.5% in the forecast period of 2023-2030. Factors Affecting Transplant Diagnostics Market Growth

    Increasing Pervasiveness of Chronic Diseases
    

    The increasing incidence of chronic diseases worldwide has greatly contributed to the growing demand for organ transplantation. With aging populations worldwide, the incidence of chronic diseases like diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, and most notably chronic kidney disease (CKD), is rapidly increasing. CKD has risen to become one of the top causes of kidney failure, pushing it up the ranks as a top driver for kidney transplant procedures. As life expectancy rises, the rates of chronic conditions also rise, especially in the elderly who are more prone to long-term health complications. For instance, more than 1 in 7 US adults about 35.5 million people, or 14% are estimated to have CKD. (Source - https://www.cdc.gov/kidney-disease/php/data-research/index.html ) Alongside this, advances in medical science are opening doors to newer treatments like stem cell therapy and personalized medicine. These new areas are gaining momentum because of their ability to deliver targeted, effective, and patient-specific treatments. With these advancements, the significance of precise and thorough pre-procedure diagnostics has increased significantly. Early diagnosis and assessment are key to enhancing transplant success rates, reducing complications, and tailoring treatment plans according to individual patient profiles. Consequently, the need for pre-procedure diagnostic technologies and equipment is increasing rapidly. This trend is part of a larger movement toward proactive and precision medicine, opening up opportunities for innovation in diagnostic and therapeutic support systems in organ transplantation.

    The increasing number of transplant procedures
    

    The increasing number of numerous new advanced technologies, screening tests, genomic profiling, and cross-matching is making the transplant a relevant way of giving rebirth to an individual. The growing number of transplant processes across major countries is associated with the increasing CAGR in the transplant market. Diseases such as liver cirrhosis, Tuberculosis, and end-stage renal diseases are prevalent among ancient individuals and the individual must go through transplant surgery.

    Restraining Factors of the Transplant Diagnostic Market

    High cost of NGS and PCR-based diagnostic evaluation
    

    Transplant diagnostic processes are conducted through particular molecular diagnosis dais that contains numerous advanced technologies for processing Histocompatibility tests, genomic profiling, and Blood profiling. All these technologies are combined with the conventional NGS/PCR instruments and therefore, the cost of these advanced products is high. The huge cost of instruments is restraining the growth of the market.

    The increasing gap between organ donors and organ transplantation 
    

    The enormous gap between organ donation and the requirement for organ transplantation is reducing the growth of the transplant diagnosis market. The number of organ donors is falling smaller than the number of people requiring organ transplantation. This creates an enormous loss between the supply and requirement of organ donors, with the number of people on the pending list for organ transplants increasing by the year.

    Opportunities in the Transplant diagnostics market:

    Vital drive by the key players
    

    Increasing global demand for transplant diagnostics is posing important opportunities for strategic business expansion in the health care industry. With increasing worldwide demand for organ donors, the demand for good quality transplant diagnostic kits is simultaneously increasing. The kits are vital for determining donor-recipient compatibility, avoiding organ rejection, and enhancing transplant success rates. Growing pressure to address this need has urged main market participants to adopt aggressive approaches with a focus on improving their market foothold and operation ability. For instance, as of 2022, 170 million people in the U.S. have registered as donors. (Source - https://www.organdonor.gov/learn/organ-donation-statistics ) ...

    Description

    To assess the cost-effectiveness of transarterial radioembolization (TARE) versus conventional transarterial chemoembolization (cTACE) and drug-eluting beads chemoembolization (DEE-TACE) for patients with unresectable early- to intermediate-stage hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). A cohort-based Markov model with a five-year time horizon was developed to evaluate the cost-effectiveness of the three embolization treatments. Upon entering the model, patients with HCC received either TARE or one of the two other embolization treatments. Patients remained in a “watch and wait” state for tumor downstaging that allowed them to move to health states such as liver transplant, resection, systemic therapies, or cure. Clinical input parameters were retrieved from the published literature, and where values could not be sourced, assumptions were made and validated by clinical experts. Health benefits were quantified using quality-adjusted life years (QALYs). Cost input parameters were obtained from various sources, including the Medicare Cost Report, IBM® Micromedex RED BOOK, and published literature. At five years, TARE was found to be cost-saving (saving $15,779 per person compared to cTACE) and produced 0.33 more QALYs per person than cTACE. TARE cost $13,696 more but produced 0.33 more QALYs than DEE-TACE, with an incremental cost-effectiveness ratio of $41,474 per QALY gained at five years. After accounting for parameter uncertainty, the likelihood of TARE being cost-effective was at least 90% against all comparators at a cost-effectiveness threshold of $100,000 per QALY gained. TARE produces more QALYs than cTACE and DEE-TACE, with a high probability of being cost-effective against both comparators. The Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer guideline recommends the use of transarterial radioembolization (TARE), conventional (cTACE), or drug-eluting bead transarterial chemoembolization (DEE-TACE) for treating hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). This study evaluated the cost-effectiveness of TARE versus two alternative embolization treatments (cTACE and DEE-TACE) in treating patients with unresectable early- to intermediate-stage HCC. A cohort-based Markov model was developed to analyze the costs and benefits of these treatments from a US healthcare perspective within a 5-year time horizon. A 20-year time horizon was assessed as a scenario. In the model, patients were assigned to receive TARE, cTACE, or DEE-TACE and remained in the “watch and wait” stage for tumor downstaging. Data used in the model was taken from previous studies and in consultation with clinical experts. The benefits of the treatments were measured by considering the impact on the patient’s quality of life. The costs associated with the treatments were obtained from various sources, including reports, publicly available databases, and published literature. The findings show that TARE is not only cost-saving compared to cTACE but also results in a higher number of quality-adjusted life years (QALYs) per person. While TARE was more expensive than DEE-TACE, it produced more QALYs, further indicating more favorable patient outcomes and overall treatment effectiveness. These findings could potentially impact resource allocation and decision-making for the treatment of HCC.

Description

In 2024, California had the highest number of liver transplants performed among all U.S. states. That year, there were around 1,243 liver transplants performed in California. The state with the second-highest number of liver transplants was Texas. Liver transplants are the second most common transplant in the United States, behind kidney transplants. Liver transplants in the United States In 2023, there were just over 10,660 liver transplants carried out in the United States. Most liver transplants in the U.S. are among adults aged 50 to 64 years, with this age group accounting for around 43 percent of all liver transplants. The current need for liver transplants exceeds availability, with over nine thousand people in the United States waiting to receive a liver transplant. Liver transplantation is a treatment option for those suffering from end-stage chronic liver disease, in which the liver is damaged beyond repair. Liver disease End-stage chronic liver disease, or liver failure, has various causes including cirrhosis, hepatitis B and C, and liver cancer. Around half of all deaths in the United States caused by liver cirrhosis are related to alcohol use. Liver cirrhosis is scarring of the liver because of long-term damage. The death rate due to alcohol-related cirrhosis in the United States has increased over the past couple decades. Men are much more likely to die from liver cirrhosis than women.
