At OU Health, your kidney transplant organ comes from a deceased or living
donor, often a family member or other suitable match. The process of transplanting
two kidneys at the same time requires a deceased donor. Your surgeon may
leave a nonfunctioning kidney in place while transplanting the new one
in your lower front abdomen. Your OU Health
kidney transplantation and care team includes specialists in nephrology, intensive care, immunology
and infectious disease working together for your optimal recovery.
