Personalized, Expert Care for Kidney Transplants
If you are living with kidney failure, dialysis and transplant are your two main treatment options. Our USC Kidney Transplant Program experts work with recipients and donors to offer personal plans and superior care.
Our kidney transplant team manages all aspects of your care, from evaluation through surgery and recovery. In addition, our team can perform both transfusion-free surgeries and living kidney donation surgeries using minimally invasive transplant techniques.
We are part of the United Network of Organ Sharing, the central agency that coordinates the nation’s organ transplant system. We also have a wellness program, Donate Well, to help donors get healthy enough for a living kidney donation.
