Organ transplant
Overview
Years ago, children whose organs failed had no hope for survival. Today, these children are growing up to be healthy adults with transplanted organs and tissue. Transplantation involves removing an organ or tissue that's stopped working and replacing it with a new one, taken from a living or deceased donor.
At UCSF Benioff Children's Hospital, we are leaders in kidney and liver transplants for children, attracting patients from throughout the West Coast.
