Significant variations can be observed in the utilization of HCV-viremic kidneys throughout the United States. These variations highlight opportunities for kidney transplant centers in specific regions to adopt policies for HCV-viremic kidney transplants, thereby expanding their donor pool. Encouragingly, an increasing number of kidney transplant centers are adopting HCV D+/R- kidney transplants, indicating positive progress. These trends suggest a more balanced access to HCV-viremic kidneys ahead.
