Surgical and Post-Surgical Kidney Transplant Care

When a compatible organ is available for transplantation, one of your transplant team members will contact you. During surgery, your own kidney will be left inside your body. Your surgeon will connect the donor kidney and make sure it has a good blood supply.

Using the LifePort Kidney Transporter, a machine preservation technology that increases a kidney’s viability and lifespan, as a part of our routine kidney transplant care we are able to provide patients new kidneys faster with better outcomes. After your kidney transplant, you will likely no longer need dialysis or other kidney disease treatments.
