University of Utah Transplant Clinic, Kidney

U of U Health is the top living donor transplant center in Utah, with transplant rates among the top 20 percent nationwide. We can offer transplants to nearly every qualifying patient through our paired exchange program. Paired exchange helps us match the most compatible donors and recipients, even if they don’t know each other. We use new donor matching techniques that are more extensive than other centers.

Our kidney transplant team has cared for patients since 1965. We are a Medicare-approved center, performing around 180 kidney transplants each year. Our survival rates are above national averages. We take a multidisciplinary approach to your care, offering you access to every specialist you need:

• Transplant surgeons

• Social workers

• Dietitians

• Pharmacists
