What Sets Us Apart

Our transplant research is the second most funded in the country. Research funding helps our experts improve kidney transplant care for you and for patients around the world.

Transplants require lifelong care, which can affect your everyday life. We have the most patients in the world off immunosuppressants (antirejection medicine), which means they can enjoy a better quality of life after transplant.

When it comes to transplants, experience matters. Northwestern Memorial Hospital is in the top 10 in the U.S. for the number of solid organ transplants performed, according to the United Network for Organ Sharing, 2023 to 2024.

Finding a Match

Many organ transplants come from a deceased organ donor, but living organ donation can result in better outcomes and help people get transplants faster. That’s why we have one of the largest living donor programs in the country.
