At ¸Û°Äͼ¿â, we have been successfully performing kidney transplants since 1972. Our top surgeons handle 60 to 70 kidney transplants every year-making us one of the most active and experienced kidney transplant centers in Virginia. We guide both patients and kidney donors through the transplant process step-by-step with thorough evaluation, transplantation and follow-up care.
Our goal is for you to live longer and better. The national Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients has ranked the ¸Û°Äͼ¿â Transplant Center as one of the top hospitals for adult kidney transplant survival rates in Virginia. This means many patients live longer, fuller lives after transplantation at ¸Û°Äͼ¿â.
Our full transplant team includes a range of dedicated specialists, many board-certified and fellowship-trained, including:
- Transplant nephrologists
- Transplant and urologic surgeons
- Infectious disease specialists
- Immune system specialists
- Patient transplant coordinators
- Pharmacists
- Social workers
- Support personnel who work with kidney transplant patients, their loved ones and the generous individuals who volunteer to donate a kidney
Our patients benefit from:
- Community-based services: To save you time and stress, we arrange for you to complete most pre-surgery tests and post-surgery evaluations at ¸Û°Äͼ¿â facilities close to you.
- Your own transplant coordinator: One individual will help you coordinate your transplant. Our patients tell us that talking to a single point person alleviates stress and legwork.
Multi-organ transplants: Board-certified, fellowship-trained ¸Û°Äͼ¿â surgeons offer the expertise to perform multi-organ transplants such as a kidney-pancreas transplant.
