KIDNEY TRANSPLANT ELIGIBILITY

Understand the process, the waiting list, and your path to transplant.

Wondering whether you qualify for a kidney transplant, or how to get on the list? Temple Health helps you understand each step. Our team walks you through the evaluation, what the waiting list means, and how dialysis compares with transplant, so you can make informed decisions about your care. We evaluate patients with no upper age limit and welcome second opinions, even if you have been turned away elsewhere. The sooner you start your evaluation, the sooner we can explore options that may reduce your time to transplant. Request an appointment to begin.

HOW DO I GET ON THE KIDNEY TRANSPLANT LIST?

It starts with an evaluation. Our team reviews your health and guides you through each requirement.

IS A TRANSPLANT BETTER THAN DIALYSIS?

For many people a transplant offers a better quality of life. Our team helps you weigh both options.

WHY CHOOSE TEMPLE FOR KIDNEY TRANSPLANT?

More Than 20 Years of Transplant Experience

Temple’s kidney transplant program has been helping patients get back to life after kidney failure for more than 20 years. Our surgeons and nephrologists guide you through every step, from evaluation through recovery, and we evaluate patients with no upper age limit. If another center has said no, we welcome second opinions.

Living and Deceased Donor Options

Nephrologists, transplant surgeons, and support specialists work as one team around you. Your coordinator keeps the process moving, answers your questions, and makes sure nothing falls through the cracks, from your first evaluation through long-term follow-up.
