The Jefferson Kidney Transplantation Program offers comprehensive care to patients and their families.
People who need kidney transplants choose Jefferson because our program is both highly innovative and highly personal. Here,
you benefit from state-of-the-art treatments and surgical techniques and a team of leading medical and surgical experts. Yet,
we also greet you by name. We remember you, your family and your story. And we are committed to helping our patients achieve
highest-quality outcomes following kidney transplantation.
We invite you to learn more about some of the specific capabilities/highlights of the Jefferson Kidney Transplantation Program,
including:
Laparoscopic kidney donor surgery
Jefferson is unique in our exclusive use of a minimally invasive approach.
Desensitization of listed kidney patients
For the 16 percent of listed kidney patients who are considered “highly sensitized,” Jefferson offers a treatment protocol
that may enable them to receive a transplant sooner.
Living kidney exchange: Paired donation, or “domino exchange”
Sometimes patients have friends or loved ones who are willing to donate a kidney – but are unable to do so because of incompatibility.
Through a living kidney exchange, Jefferson may be able to help you find a suitable match.
Transplantation for Patients with HIV
There is significant evidence that kidney transplantation can be performed successfully in organ failure patients with controlled
HIV disease.
