- Abstract
Objective: to describe the epidemiology of renal transplantation in Brazil and the hospital public spending for the Unified Health System between 2013 and 2017. Method: this is a quantitative, ecological and descriptive study conducted with data from the Hospital Information System. The following variables were selected: Brazilian regions; authorization for hospital admission and hospital costs. Results: there were 19,823 kidney transplants in Brazil. 79.94% occurred with deceased donors and 53.01% occurred in the southeast region. Transplantation generated a financial impact exceeding R$ 588.3 million. Moreover, 84.55% were deceased donors and the southeast region caused greater burden (52.48%). Conclusion: there is need for empowering teams of organ capitation for direct and efficient approaches to sensitize families to the donation process. Education in the initial grades appears as an important tool for the process of critical and early reflection on the process of donation that may change the future scenario of organ donations in the country.
