BBC NEWS | Wales | Kidney transplant patients go up Click
The number of people waiting for a kidney transplant in Wales has risen by more than 50% in the last six years, the Kidney Wales Foundation has said.
Its figures also show there were 431 people on the transplant waiting list at the end of 2007 but only 89 transplants were carried out last year.
The charity said the rise is due to increasing levels of diabetes, heart disease and an ageing population.
