If your child has end-stage renal disease and needs a kidney transplant, we can help.
The kidney transplant program at UPMC Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh is one of the most active in the world.
We did our first kidney transplant in 1964. Since then, we've helped hundreds of children and teens in need of a new kidney.

The kidneys are crucial for removing waste and extra fluids from the body. When they stop working, waste builds up and causes kidney failure.
A transplant is the best treatment for kidney failure. It also lets your child avoid or stop dialysis, which takes time away from friends, school, and hobbies.
The goal of the kidney transplant program at UPMC Children's Hospital is to restore your child's health and wellness.
The types of transplants we do include:
Our experts did the world's first living-related pediatric kidney/bone marrow transplant.
Our program was one of the first in the world to use tacrolimus as its main immune suppressant drug.
As a result:
Current live-donor kidney transplant pretreatment with alemtuzumab allows us to avoid steroids after transplant.
