A living donor transplant is a procedure where a kidney is removed from a healthy donor and is surgically implanted in a recipient with kidney failure.

The living donor can be anyone healthy enough to donate. It can be a family member, spouse, or friend. Living donor kidneys can also come from strangers who want to help someone in need of a kidney.

A living donor transplant has many advantages over a deceased donor kidney transplant, the most important being a significantly higher success rate.

Why Choose the Kidney Transplant Program at Christiana Care?

Each year, more than 1,000 patients rely on Christiana Care’s expert team of doctors and nurses for complete kidney transplant care. This includes:

Kidney transplant evaluation You will receive an initial evaluation and comprehensive testing to assess your overall health. You will also have the opportunity to meet with several of our team members. Our team works as a committee to determine if you are a good candidate for the kidney transplant list.

Wait list care Once you are on the wait list, we will connect with you monthly to check on any changes to your health status and any results you receive from outside tests (cardiology tests, CT scans, etc.). We encourage proactive communication.
