Not exact matches

Our experience in performing kidney transplants from living donors ensures the highest level of care and better outcomes for our patients — both kidney donors and recipients.»

Historically, clinicians evaluating a patient for transplant have sought to identify donor cells that are perfectly matched to the patient's cell type, which is considered to be the optimal approach to help ensure successful outcomes and to minimize risk of graft - versus - host disease (GVHD), a serious and potentially life - threatening complication that occurs when the donated immune cells attack the patient's cells as foreign tissue.
