Kidney Transplant

Exceptional Outcomes for Kidney Transplant Patients since 1971

Loyola Medicine offers the highest level of multidisciplinary, integrated care for kidney disease and failure patients who may be considering a kidney transplant. Loyola takes on the most challenging cases; so if you’ve been turned down by another transplant center, consider getting a second opinion at Loyola. 

Preparation for a kidney transplant is an extensive process and includes a detailed evaluation, a search for a donor kidney, the transplant surgery and a recovery period.

At Loyola, you will have an entire team on your side, including your transplant nephrologist, transplant surgeon, anesthesiologists, nurse coordinators, nurse practitioners, procurement nurses, transplant chaplains, infectious disease specialists, physical therapists, dietitians, financial coordinators, clinical pharmacists, social workers and psychologists.

We have one goal: restoring you to better health.

Why Choose Loyola for Kidney Transplants?

A successful transplant starts the moment you walk in the door. We are thorough in our testing and complete in our patient education. We provide personalized care and will make the process comprehensive for you and your family. Loyola’s doctors, nurse coordinators and nutritionists will ensure that you are in the best possible state of health before transplant surgery and prepared for the next chapter in your life.

Whether you need a kidney or a multi-organ transplant, Loyola’s highly skilled transplant team will provide the most advanced care. As part of an academic medical center, Loyola’s doctors perform and teach the latest surgical techniques and medical practices.

Our kidney transplant surgeons practices are aggressive in finding you a kidney. We have high rates of organ acceptance and have the shortest times to transplant in the region; without compromising the outcomes of the patient and the organs. You can see our results and compare to other centers at the Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients (SRTR) (ILLU Overview | SRTR Data Visualization).

Our transplant team is often consulted by doctors at other hospitals because of their expertise and experience and Loyola's nephrology care is recognized by U.S. News & World Report.
