Transplantation

Many diseases can lead to organ failure, including heart disease, diabetes, hepatitis, cystic fibrosis, and cirrhosis. Injury and birth defects could also cause organ failure.
The transplant process varies slightly depending on the organ, but the need for a matching donor is a consistent theme.

Transplant data show that more and more people receive transplants every year and that many people with transplants are living longer after receiving their organ(s) than ever before.
Our transplant team provides medical care for patients with end-stage organ failure requiring liver, kidney, and bone marrow.

Liver Transplantation

A liver transplant is an operation that replaces a patient’s diseased liver with a whole or partial healthy liver from another person. In most cases, a healthy liver will come from an organ donor who has just died.

Kidney Transplantation

A kidney transplant is surgery done to replace a diseased kidney with a healthy kidney from a donor. The kidney may come from a deceased organ donor or a living donor.
