Our Kidney-Pancreas Transplant Program provides assessment, treatment, and follow-up care for people with Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and kidney disease. A combined kidney-pancreas transplant can be a life-improving option for many people with Type 1 diabetes with kidney failure who take insulin every day. Patients with successful transplants no longer need daily insulin or dialysis. A kidney-pancreas transplant, though not a cure, can greatly improve many transplant patients' length and quality of life.
Our kidney-pancreas transplant center ranks among the most prestigious in the country. Our team of kidney-pancreas transplant specialists is highly skilled. We will work with you every step of the way to ensure superior care and service.
If you need daily insulin, are on dialysis, or are close to requiring dialysis, a kidney-pancreas transplant may improve the quality of your life. You will no longer experience renal failure with a new kidney. A new pancreas will maintain your blood sugars without insulin. A kidney-pancreas transplant is a chance to return to a more normal, productive life.
