Kidney Transplant
Kidney transplantation is the preferred treatment for severe chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal disease. With a kidney transplant, you can lead a life free of dialysis and its potential complications. And if you aren’t yet on dialysis, an early kidney transplant can help you avoid it.
The first step is undergoing a transplant evaluation to determine if you’re eligible for a kidney transplant. This includes an assessment by a medical kidney specialist, a transplant surgeon, a social worker, a dietitian, a pharmacist and a financial specialist.
Additional testing will also help the team decide the best course of treatment for you.
Liver Transplant
Liver transplantation is the best treatment option for most patients with chronic liver disease and certain types of cancer. The outcomes are promising, and many patients return to the activities they enjoyed before their illness.
The best way to determine your eligibility for a liver transplant is to undergo an evaluation. This includes an assessment by a medical liver specialist, a transplant surgeon, a social worker, a dietitian, a pharmacist, a financial specialist and possibly a psychiatrist.
Some additional testing will also help the team decide the best course of treatment for you.
Our Living Donor Program
Donating a kidney is a selfless gift, and patients needing kidney transplants rely on the generosity of living donors.
Donor Eligibility
You'll undergo a living donor evaluation to determine if you can safely donate. During the assessment, you’ll meet with the entire team: an independent living donor advocate, a nephrologist, a surgeon and other medical professionals. This team will work together to help you decide whether donating is a safe option. The evaluation process can be as quick as a day or longer, depending on your health and availability. Our primary goals are your safety, health and healing.
Living Donor Safety People with one kidney lead normal lives. There are, of course, risks involved with donation surgery, just like any other surgery. Our surgeons will explain those risks during the evaluation process. After donation, you may have to be more careful about your health and certain medications. Overall, our donors say that kidney donation is a rewarding experience.
How Do I Start the Process? If you're interested in donating a kidney, please complete our online donor intake form to start the process: porter.donorscreen.org. Once we've received your information, our living donor social worker will reach out to you to discuss. All communication between our transplant team and a potential donor is completely confidential.
