Transplant Center

Diabetes mellitus is the leading cause of end-stage renal disease (ESRD), accounting for approximately 40 percent of newly diagnosed patients with renal failure every year. Whether you are in the beginning stages of diabetic complications or deteriorating kidney function, we understand that you and your family may have questions. That is why we have a designated transplant team member who is available to talk with you about your disease, various treatment options and which options are best suited for you. In addition, our team of doctors, nurses, technicians, dietitians, social workers and many others is available to provide care and support throughout the  transplant process, during your hospital stay and even after you return home.

The following information will help explain the transplant process and the benefits, risks and procedures involved with pancreas transplantation.
