The ever-changing field of organ transplantation poses significant challenges and even greater opportunities when it comes to saving lives. Saint Louis University Hospital’s comprehensive, award-winning abdominal organ transplant program is working to transform these opportunities into successful outcomes, performing nearly 200 organ transplants each year. The transplant program’s success is further evidenced by unparalleled one-year survival rates.  

Building on extensive experience and a long history of nationally-recognized care in hepatology, interventional nephrology and surgery, we are committed to promoting a patient-centered, multi-disciplinary approach to the care of the patient with end-stage organ failure and honoring the donor gift with excellent patient and family care.

Our transplant team, including specially-trained nurses, patient care coordinators and SLUCare physicians, provides medical care for patients with end-stage organ failure requiring liver, kidney, kidney-pancreas, and/or isolated pancreas transplantation.

The strength of our team includes extensive experience in:

• Hepatobiliary system disease
• Pancreatic disorders in non-transplant patients
• Liver resection
• Laparoscopic nephrectomy for living kidney donors
• ICU specifically dedicated to transplant patients and staffed by skilled transplant nurses

 Additionally, our transplant program has been honored with several local and national awards in the past few years, including:

• Ranked Among the Top 50 Renal Programs in the U.S.
• Medals of Honor from the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services
• Donate Life Award from the Missouri Hospital Association

Our transplant team is dedicated to continuously delivering quality patient care with successful outcomes.
