What Is Kidney Transplantation?

Kidney Transplantation

Receiving or donating a kidney is a life‐changing experience. At Northwestern Medicine Organ Transplant Center, we support you every step of the way—with leading clinical research, innovation and compassionate care.

Our team understands the difference a transplant can make. That is why we work hard to offer new approaches to immunosuppression, which helps prevent your body from rejecting transplanted organs. These approaches include:

  • Clinical trials in immune tolerance
  • State‐of‐the‐art genomic and proteomic immune monitoring
  • Health services and outcomes research

Explore our transplant resources. These include patient education materials, support groups and more.
