Kidney International Reports has estimated that between 2015 and 2018, there were 12 to 17 patients added to the kidney transplant waitlist for every ten deceased donor kidneys that became available in Network 16, and in Network 18 between 17 and 48 newly waitlisted patients for every ten newly available kidneys. The greatest scarcity of kidneys (26-48 candidates per ten available kidneys) occurred in San Luis Obispo, King, Tulare, and Inyo Counties of California. Areas with more newly available deceased donor kidneys than waitlist additions (10-18 new kidneys per ten new candidates) included Nevada, northwestern Arizona, Oklahoma, northwestern Ohio, eastern upstate New York, western Vermont, and east-central Florida.
