Children, who years ago had no hope for survival when their organs failed, now are growing up to be healthy adults with transplanted organs and tissue.
At UCSF Children's Hospital, we are leaders in kidney and liver transplants for children, attracting patients from throughout the West Coast. As pediatric specialists, we are experts at dealing with the challenges presented by the small, developing bodies of children, their difficulties communicating how they feel and their varying levels of maturity.
As an academic hospital, we offer leading edge therapies and drugs. For example, our doctors pioneered anti-rejection medications and treatments that now benefit children throughout the world. Our goal is to provide your child the best treatment possible.
