transplant list
Donor recipient registry
A transplant list is a registry of patients waiting for organ transplants, ranked by medical urgency, compatibility, and time spent waiting.
Getting on the list requires meeting strict medical criteria; moving up depends on factors like blood type and proximity to available organs.
She's been on the transplant list for three years.
The wait can be agonizing—organs are scarce, and many patients die before one becomes available.
