Fig. 1: Working from the SRTR data and the OPTN/SRTR 2023 Annual Data Report.

From: Opportunities and challenges with the implementation of normothermic machine perfusion in kidney transplantation

Fig. 1

(https://srtr.transplant.hrsa.gov/adr/adr2023), Fig. 1 describes the annual numbers of organs transplanted between 2012 – 2023. To put this into perspective of the number of organs authorized for use in transplantation, the figure and the corresponding table display the annual number of the organs authorized for transplantation and the number of organs retrieved but not transplanted (discarded after retrieval). Conceptually, all organs authorized for use in transplantation represent the donor organ pool. However, not all reasons for non-retrieval and for post-retrieval discard are immediately modifiable (see also Fig. 3).
