Objectives: To analyze and discuss the statistics of organ and tissue transplants performed in the Northeast region in 2024. Methods: This study employs an observational, descriptive design with a quantitative approach. The research was conducted using data extracted from the statistical reports of the Brazilian Transplant Registry (Registro Brasileiro de Transplantes [RBT]), made available electronically by the Brazilian Association of Organ Transplants (Associação Brasileira de Transplante de Órgãos [ABTO]). Data collection took place in July 2025. Results: The state of Ceará (CE) stood out with the highest number of procedures, totaling 1,872 transplants, corresponding to 31.63% of the regional total. Subsequently, Pernambuco (PE) performed 1,365 transplants. Bahia (BA) performed 918 procedures, corresponding to 15.51%, while Maranhão performed 535 transplants, equivalent to 9.04%. The Northeast region has a total of 12,611 active patients on the transplant waiting list. BA leads with approximately 30.41% of the total. PE follows with approximately 24.70%, and CE ranks third with approximately 12.70%. The other states also have a significant number of patients on the waiting list. Conclusion: Therefore, the objective of the study was achieved, considering that the statistics of transplants performed in 2024 in the Northeast region were analyzed and discussed.
