Kidney and Kidney/Pancreas Transplantation at UCLA
The UCLA Kidney Transplant Program was among the pioneers in transplantation, performing some of the earliest kidney transplants in the United States. UCLA's program performs living-related and cadaveric renal transplants in over 300 adult and pediatric patients a year. The UCLA Kidney Transplant Program has earned a national reputation for its clinical and academic excellence, and is recognized as a national leader in clinical research.
UCLA is dedicated to providing the highest quality of care to patients with end-stage renal disease. The Kidney Transplant Program can attribute its excellent results to over 25 years of experience with renal transplantation, a cohesive and highly experienced staff, and a unique collaboration of medical and surgical specialists before and after transplantation.
The Kidney/Pancreas Transplant Program at UCLA was started in 1993. During its first three years, 50 transplants were performed. The dual organ transplant is used specifically for adult patients who have end-stage renal disease and Type I diabetes (insulin deficient). Investigators in the program are actively involved in islet cell transplant research.
