The Kidney Program
A Tradition of Excellence
The University of Utah Kidney Transplant Program is a comprehensive program
that has been caring for patients with end-stage renal disease since 1965.
In 1977, the program became a Medicare-approved center. The program has
consistently maintained a high volume of adult and pediatric kidney
transplants while achieving graft and survival rates higher than the national
average.
Expert Care
Our Kidney Transplant Program takes a multidisciplinary approach, providing patients access to a team of health care professionals who are experienced in all medical and surgical aspects of transplantation. The team consists of board-certified adult and pediatric transplant nephrologists, board-certified surgeons, nurse practitioners, nurse coordinators, dietitians, pharmacists, social workers, financial advisors, and support staff.
Our team works directly with the referring physician to provide clinical support for the patient. The team’s services are available to patients and families through all phases of care, from pre-transplant evaluation, post-operative and post-transplantation care.
Research for a
Healthier Tomorrow
The Kidney Transplant Program is committed to providing state-of-the-art patient care with knowledge gained from its involvement in ongoing clinical research. The program actively participates in new immunosuppressive trials to develop new and more effective treatment methods for the renal patient.
