Rhode Island Hospital Kidney Transplant Center
About the Center
Initiated in 1997, the Kidney Transplant Center at Rhode Island
Hospital, a major teaching hospital of Brown University Medical School, has rapidly become
recognized as one of the most advanced in New England, with a success rate and a standard
of patient care second to none.
We have assembled one of the most skilled and experienced teams of transplant surgeons,
nephrologists, and related specialists in the nation. Equally important, we have created a
uniquely personalized and caring environment for patients undergoing transplantation. Our
transplant team emphasizes close consultation and cooperation with referring nephrologists
and primary care physicians of transplant patient candidates as they progress from the
initial evaluation, transplant work-up, surgical transplantation and every step of
postoperative care and management.
In addition, the Rhode Island Hospital transplant team has moved quickly to the
forefront of clinical research in newer, more effective immunosuppressive agents and
reduced immunosuppression protocols - research that improves transplant success, reduces
the likelihood of rejection and enhances quality of life.
