Organ Donation among African Americans
29% of people waiting for life-saving organ transplants in the nation are African American. In 2019, 15% of the organ donors in Gift of Life’s region were African American. In the 25-44 year-old age group, the rate of African Americans who have kidney failure caused by high blood pressure is 20 times higher than Caucasians.
