The UC Davis Transplant Center offers active kidney, liver, pancreas, and lung transplant programs. All pediatric and adult patients with end-stage renal failure may be evaluated for access procedures for chronic dialysis. Appropriate candidates also will be considered for living-related living-unrelated, or cadeveric renal transplantation.

An active pancreas transplant patient program has been offered since 1989. Patients with insulin-dependent mellitus and diabetic nephropathy will be considered for combined cadaveric renal and pancreas transplantation. Diabetic recipients of a previous renal transplantation can also be evaluated for sequential pancreas transplantation. Non-uremic diabetics with very difficult-to-control glucose metabolism can be considered for solitary pancreas transplantation.

With a strong commitment and all mechanisms in place, UC Davis Medical Center has launched a new liver transplant program. Referrals for transplant evaluation are being taken for any patients with end-stage liver disease.

Bone marrow transplantation is offered through the Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Hematology and Oncology.

Research continues in the area of transplant immunology and pancreatic islet cell transplantation, and the clinical trial of pancreas islet cell transplantation is planned for the near future.
