Dual Kidney Transplants Laparoscopic Donor Surgery Candidates Donors Recipients

Kidney transplant is an option for people who suffer from end stage kidney disease and are currently on dialysis or will need dialysis sometime in the future.

Decreased quality of life, inability to work, and depressed sexual function all contribute to the general feeling of unwellness experienced by even well dialyzed patients.

While transplantation is not a cure for end stage kidney failure, it offers the best outcome with the greatest potential for the full return to a healthy, productive life for those whose kidneys have failed.

The skilled surgeons of the Transplant Division at University Hospital of Brooklyn have performed well over 2,400 kidney transplants over the past 25 years. In addition, we have a combined kidney -pancreas transplant program in which some diabetics may receive transplants which free them from the need for daily insulin injections.

Making the decision regarding whether kidney transplant is right for you can be a difficult and confusing process.

While transplantation is not for everyone, we hope that this website will provide you with the information you need to Make the Right Choice.
