Kidney Transplant
If your kidneys are failing, turn to our proven transplant teams for lifesaving care. Our kidney transplant program performs more than 200 kidney transplants a year — as well as pancreas and simultaneous kidney-pancreas transplants.

Why Choose Sutter?
If your kidneys no longer function properly, a kidney or kidney-pancreas transplant could offer you a future free from dialysis. A kidney transplant is more than just a surgery — it has life-changing impacts long before and long after the procedure. At Sutter, we‘re here to address practical, emotional and spiritual concerns before surgery, throughout your recovery and whenever you need us. Your transplant team will be available at any point to guide you through the healing process and help you get back to a more active life.
Since performing our first kidney transplant in 1969 — and over 6,200 transplants since — we’ve become a nationally recognized leader in personalized care for kidney recipients and donors. Our transplant surgeons perform around 200 kidney transplants each year and are pioneers in kidney-paired donation.
