Getting On The List
For most transplant candidates, the first step in receiving a transplant is to get on the OPTN/UNOS national transplant waiting list. All transplant candidates who do not have the option of a living donor (and even some who do) usually wait for some length of time because there are not enough donor organs for all who need them.
