Overcoming gender disparity in access to kidney transplantation is a well-established universal challenge. The SRTR data showed a greater proportion of males than females for kidney transplant waitlists (61% vs 39%). Similarly, of 831 deceased donor kidney transplants (DDKT) conducted between 1997 and 2018 at IKDRC-ITS, 68% have been male and 32% female recipients while majority of donors in living donor kidney transplants (LDKT) were females.
