Kidney/Pancreas Transplantation Program
In 2005, the Kidney/Pancreas Transplantation Program performed 229 kidney and 50 pancreas transplants. A part of UPMC’s Thomas E. Starzl Transplantation Institute, the program offers traditional transplants of these organs from deceased donors as well as living-donor kidney transplantation options.
The transplantation of a kidney, pancreas, or both organs at once is offered to patients who suffer from end-stage kidney disease, complications of diabetes, or both.
