Who should italk to if i am interested in investigating kidney transplantation?

Local Tx Centers: You can get good information from the websites of the united network for organ sharing, the american society of transplant surgeons, the american society for transplantation. And the national kidney foundation to name a few.

Your nephrologist: I would discuss this with your nephrologist. It is the nephrologist that makes the referral for a patient to be seen at a transplant center.

Nephrologist: If you have a chronic kidney disease and need a kidney transplantation, please have your PCP (primary care physician) to refer you to a nephrologist (a kidney specialist) who will guide you in the right direction.

UNOS: UNOS has information on all transplant centers in USA. http://www.unos.org. Look up centers in your area, compare their results and then discuss with your Kidney doctor and pick a center. Look at outcomes, patient and graft survival. best of luck.
