The Kidney and Pancreas Transplantation program, operated in partnership with the Rogosin Institute, offers the latest surgical interventions and medical management protocols to treat adults and children who receive a donor kidney or pancreas. The program is one of the highest volume programs in the country. It is known for surgical innovations and accepts patients who are immunologically complex, of advanced age, or have co-morbid conditions. The pediatric kidney transplantation program is skilled at transplanting adult kidneys into children, and includes a living donor program that offers pre-emptive kidney transplantation before dialysis. The pancreas transplantation program offers a therapeutic option for patients with type 1 diabetes who have developed significant complications, including nerve problems, retinal disease, or the inability to tell when their blood glucose is low. These programs all participate in clinical trials.
