largest kidney transplant program in the Pacific NW
Our highly experienced multidisciplinary team has optimized the steps of evaluation, listing, and transplantation. UW has the highest rate of transplantation in our area. Patients at UW are more likely to receive a kidney transplant than the national average.
The nationally acclaimed transplant program is the largest in the Pacific Northwest and over 200 deceased and living-donor kidney transplants are being performed at UWMC yearly.
The program is a model of multidisciplinary collaboration and is consistently ranked at or near the top nationally for the time it takes from listing to receiving a transplant and allograft survival. We anticipate continued programmatic growth with the recent establishment of the Transplant Institute.
Best safety record in the nation
A collaborative approach to comprehensive transplantation care and optimal organ utilization has benefited our patients with exceptional graft survival results. Patients experience a much lower likelihood of graft failure compared with the national average.
UW has the only kidney transplant program with both patient and allograft survival at 1 and 3 years after transplantation that are statistically superior to the US national average. UW graft survival is 96.97% at 3 years, versus the national average of 88.96% National studies show that outcomes are significantly better for patients who receive living kidney donations.
