About Our Kidney Transplant Program
Patients on dialysis and those with deteriorating kidney function can turn to the UCI Medical Center for comprehensive, individualized transplantation services.
As Orange County’s oldest and largest kidney transplant program, our experienced team offers patients with kidney failure an opportunity for a healthier life. After a kidney transplant, recipients often feel stronger and have more energy, enabling them to return to work, enjoy a more liberal diet and an improved quality of life. Our kidney transplant outcomes exceed the national survival average.
We also have a kidney donor program for patients who have a living donor. Living donor kidneys dramatically improve patients’ long-term survival because they function better and last far longer than kidneys from deceased donors.
Our services include:
- Living donor kidney transplantation
- Deceased donor kidney transplantation
- Paired donor kidney exchange
- ABO incompatible kidney transplant
- Highly sensitized kidney transplant
- Hand-assisted living kidney donor surgery
- Positive cross-match kidney transplant
- Transplant with hepatitis C or HIV infection
