Kidney Transplant Program.
Advanced kidney transplant care guiding patients through evaluation, surgery, and long-term recovery support.
Understanding The Kidney Transplant Program
The Kidney Transplant Program supports patients with advanced kidney disease through every stage of the transplant journey. Our services help evaluate candidacy, coordinate transplantation, and provide long-term post-transplant care.
From initial evaluation to living or deceased donor transplantation and recovery, the process involves careful planning. Evaluation starts with understanding kidney function, overall health, and treatment history before determining the next steps.

How The Transplant Process Works
01 - Initial Assessment
A nephrologist reviews kidney function, medical history, medications, and relevant previous test results.
02 - Transplant Evaluation
A comprehensive evaluation assesses overall health, surgical readiness, and transplant compatibility.
03 - Diagnostic Testing
When clinically indicated, blood typing, imaging, and other assessments are completed.
04 - Transplant Planning
Findings are reviewed to confirm candidacy and coordinate donor matching and surgical planning.
05 - Ongoing Management
Post-transplant follow-up monitors kidney function and adjusts medications as needed over time.
Why Transplant Care
Requires Follow-Up
A transplant needs lifelong monitoring. Regular visits help check kidney function, fine-tune medications, and catch concerns early.
