Make a Gift
A gift to the Division of Transplant Surgery helps to fund the discovery of new treatments that improve the lives of transplant recipients.
With advances in surgical
technique and improved drugs to prevent infection
and rejection, organ transplantation is
now recognized as the most effective treatment
for many diseases. UCSF is a leader in
both adult and pediatric transplants for liver, kidney,
pancreas and small bowel, attracting patients nationally
and internationally. Children who previously
had little hope of survival in the event of organ
failure, now thrive as healthy adults with
transplanted organs. At UCSF, each tranplant candidate is carefully
evaluated by a multidisciplinary team that includes transplant
surgeons, gastroenterologists, nephrologists,
hepatologists, infectious disease specialists, social
workers and other health professionals. Patients receive
state-of-the-art care for this highly complex procedure
and have intensive long-term followup.
The Division of Transplant Surgery has a thriving research program
and offers a broad portfolio of clinical trials led by Principal
Investigators and supported by a dedicated staff of trial
coordinators and clinical research nurses. The Abdominal Transplant
Fellowship Program offers a rich educational experience
for the aspiring transplant surgeon, many of whom chose to to continue their
careers at UCSF and became leaders in the
field.
