UNC Comprehensive Transplant Center

Since performing its first kidney transplant in 1968, UNC's pediatric transplant program has become one of the largest in the Southeast.  Each year, UNC pediatric surgeons perform more heart, lung, liver and kidney transplants than any other hospital in the state.  The N.C. Children's Hospital is the only hospital in the Southeast that performs liver and kidney transplants involving living donors.  The hospital also performs a growing number of pancreas and small bowel transplants.

The UNC Comprehensive Transplant Center offers a full spectrum of transplant programs that service both adult and pediatric patients. The programs perform procedures for the transplantation of heart, heart-lung, lung, liver, kidney, pancreas, and bone marrow and stem cells.
