Kidney Transplant in Brazil During the Peripandemic Period: Finally, Have we Recovered?

Key takeaways

Kidney transplant numbers in Brazil dropped sharply during the pandemic, and this report asks whether the country's program has caught back up. It counts transplants over time rather than testing a treatment. Counts like these show trends, not causes, so they cannot prove what drove the fall or the recovery. It is a picture of how well a national transplant system is working, which affects how long patients wait.
