Kidney Failure
Our kidney transplant team offers a long-term solution to patients with kidney failure.
End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)
When your kidneys don't work effectively, it can result in end-stage renal disease (or kidney failure). When your kidneys fail, receiving a kidney transplant can save your life.
At Memorial Transplant Institute, our skilled transplant team will walk you through every step of kidney transplantation, from your first evaluation visit to our lifelong follow-up care.

Chronic kidney disease, as well as other conditions, can lead to kidney failure over time. Read more about kidney diseases we treat.
Uncontrolled blood sugar levels (from diabetes) and high blood pressure (called hypertension) are two of the main causes of chronic kidney disease. If you have diabetes or hypertension, ask your doctor what steps you can take to manage the condition.
Kidney Failure Treatments
There are two primary treatments for kidney failure:
- Dialysis: Dialysis is a treatment that filters your blood. Dialysis can be an effective short-term treatment option for kidney failure.
- Kidney transplant: Kidney transplantation is a more effective long-term solution to kidney failure. During kidney transplant surgery, a doctor implants a kidney from a living or a deceased donor. Kidney transplantation has helped thousands of people with kidney failure live longer and more active lives.
