Kidney Transplant Program

The kidney transplant program at The University of Kansas Health System in Kansas City has been performing kidney transplants continuously since 1969. Our kidney transplant program is the fourth largest in the region and performs more than twice as many kidney transplants than the next busiest transplant program.

Higher kidney transplantation volume leads to better outcomes for our patients. People who need a kidney transplant often travel to our Center for Transplantation from across the United States because we have above-average survival rates.

When you find out you need a new kidney, you want to know you’ll receive the best possible care from a compassionate team with broad kidney transplant experience. The interdisciplinary kidney team at The University of Kansas Health System treats and manages care for people with kidney and pancreas disorders.

Our kidney doctors, who are nationally recognized nephrologists, provide comprehensive, compassionate care from your first referral, through your transplant and for the rest of your life. They work closely with the entire kidney transplant care team, which includes highly experienced transplant surgeons.

You, your doctor or your dialysis center can request a kidney transplant evaluation. One of our nurse coordinators will contact you to schedule your initial visit. You’ll meet with a multidisciplinary kidney transplant team that will thoroughly assess your condition to determine your best treatment option.
