Why Kidney for Life

Kidney for Life is an initiative that uses advanced DNA sequencing technology to analyze the biological match between kidney transplant recipients and living kidney donors. This helps ensure the best possible match so the transplanted kidney can last as long as possible—potentially for the patient’s entire life. Our program results in better donor-recipent matches.

  1. Cutting-Edge Matching Technology
  2. Lower Risk of Rejection
  3. Less Risk of Graft Failure
  4. Fewer Side Effects From Immunosuppressive Medication
  5. Opportunity for Safely Reducing Immunosuppression
