Description of this population may influence the use of resources and projection of potential donors and recipients. Methods: Deceased renal allograft donors from 1/2/03 to 12/31/12 in the United Network for Organ Sharing Region 8 (n= 4829) were analyzed. Results: The majority of donors were white (n= 3933, 81.4%). Other donor ethnicities included black (n= 478, 9.9%), Hispanic (n= 341, 7.1%) and Asian (n= 50, 1%). Organ recovery was slightly more common among male (n= 2810, 58.2%) versus female (n= 2019, 41.8%) donors. The most common donor type was a standard criteria donor (SCD; n= 3311, 68.6%), followed by expanded criteria donor (ECD; n= 858, 17.8%), and donation after cardiac death (DCD; n= 608, 12.6%). Head trauma was the most common cause of death for donation (n= 1967, 40.7%), followed …
