Innovative Transplant Programs

  • Living Donor Kidney Transplant
    This can be the best option for patients if a matching donor can be found. The procedure for donors is minimally invasive and safe.
  • Paired Kidney Donation
    In this innovative approach, two kidney patients whose living donors are incompatible for their blood and tissue type each receive a kidney from the other's living donor; offered at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
  • ABO Incompatible Kidney Transplant
    This type of transplant allows transplant across blood types and is offered at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
  • Positive Crossmatch Kidney Transplant
    This technique makes transplant possible for people who have developed antibodies against their kidney donor.
  • PKD Kidney Transplant
    Mayo Clinic's comprehensive team approach to managing polycystic kidney disease (PKD) includes kidney transplant. Mayo doctors have treated thousands of people with PKD and have deep experience in managing this disorder.
