Tennessee · Code: TNUK
University of Tennessee Medical Center at Knoxville is a transplant program in Tennessee (SRTR center code TNUK). According to SRTR Program-Specific Reports from November 2025, the center operates 1 distinct organ program — Kidney. Each program is independently evaluated by the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients using risk-adjusted survival estimates, so performance on one organ does not imply performance on another.
Across all programs, the center reported approximately 262 transplant procedures during the most recent SRTR reporting cohort. An estimated 304 candidates sit on this center's combined waiting lists, though allocation is driven by OPTN policy (blood type, medical urgency, geography, organ-specific criteria) rather than list position alone. The strongest 1-year graft survival rate at this center is 97.2% for kidney transplants, versus a risk-adjusted national benchmark of 95.0%.
1 of this center's 1 reporting program meet or exceed the national 1-year graft survival benchmark. SRTR excludes programs below statistical volume thresholds, so some organs may show limited data. Use the table below to compare each organ program's survival, volume, and waitlist against national averages. This information is factual and does not constitute medical advice.
National median wait times from listing to transplant. Individual wait times vary by blood type, urgency, and geographic allocation region.

Based on SRTR data from November 2025, University of Tennessee Medical Center at Knoxville reports a 1-year graft survival rate of 97.2% for kidney transplants, compared to a national average of 95.0%. Survival rates vary by organ type and may not predict individual outcomes. Discuss these statistics with your transplant team for guidance specific to your situation.
According to the latest SRTR data, University of Tennessee Medical Center at Knoxville has approximately 304 patients on its combined transplant waiting lists across 1 organ program. Wait times depend on many factors including organ type, blood type, medical urgency, and geographic allocation policies. Your transplant center can provide an estimated timeline based on your specific circumstances.
University of Tennessee Medical Center at Knoxville offers transplant programs for Kidney. Each program is independently evaluated by SRTR with its own survival rate data and volume statistics. Not all centers offer the same organ programs, so availability is an important factor when choosing a transplant center.
University of Tennessee Medical Center at Knoxville has 1 of 1 organ program performing at or above the national average 1-year graft survival rate. National rankings are based on SRTR risk-adjusted survival estimates and exclude centers with insufficient case volume. Rankings reflect statistical outcomes over a reporting period and should be considered alongside patient-specific factors such as geographic proximity, organ availability, and clinical expertise.
When evaluating University of Tennessee Medical Center at Knoxville or any transplant center, consider multiple factors beyond survival statistics: the center's experience with your specific organ type, geographic proximity (which affects organ allocation timing), your insurance coverage, the multidisciplinary team's expertise, post-transplant follow-up capabilities, and the center's patient volume. SRTR data provides one lens, but the OPTN recommends discussing all options with your referring physician and potential transplant teams.
The data shown here comes from SRTR Program-Specific Reports released in November 2025 as part of the Collaborative Silo-Reservoir Study (CSRS). SRTR publishes updated program-specific reports approximately twice per year (typically May and November). Each release includes the most recent cohort data, which may lag by 6-18 months due to follow-up requirements for survival outcomes.
