  • Specialized care for complex cases: Rush kidney transplant specialists are highly skilled in the most complex transplant techniques and procedures, including transplants if you have HIV or hepatitis C.
  • Follow-up care where—and when—you need it: A transplant is a major surgery that requires lifelong follow-up care. We offer care at a number of convenient locations in Chicago and Oak Brook.
  • Second opinion services: Rush offers second opinion services to help you explore all possible treatment options, including kidney transplant for advanced kidney disease.
  • Leading-edge mobile health: Rush is participating in a clinical study that offers a free kidney transplant app that helps you find a kidney donor by allowing you to share your story and need for a donor. When you use the app, you are 6.6 times more likely to find a living donor.
